Blog page empty

[openflips]

Hi Ed,

here is another issue which doesn’t appear on the Ability demo.

I have a fresh install of WP 3.6.1 with Ability 1.9.1 .

I create a Blog page (Blog template), I add posts and test.

On the Ability one page, clicking on Blog display the posts correctly.
However, when opening the blog page (View all button), it appears empty.

The “Back to blog” button should redirect the blog page itself (not going back to the one page).

It doesn’t seem to be related to permalinks, I tried without.
In the theme options, I seemed to have added blog support correctly.

How to help you find the issue ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi flips,

I opened the other thread again, sorry if that was a misunderstanding, but you’re clearly also talking about the back to blog button in this thread :/

The “Back to blog” button should redirect the blog page itself (not going back to the one page).

I will gladly escalate this to the developer directly if it’s needed. He’s basically “only” the last instance and hired a bunch of staff to take care of the forums 🙂

So I’d like to check your setup out, I’m sure it’s only a small setup error. If you can let me know your wp-admin login details in a private reply, that would be great.

Thanks!

The problem was the following: You set your Blog page to use the blog page template and additionally set it up to be the news page in wp-admin > Settings > Reading.

You don’t need the second part if you’re using page templates. That broke it.
The back to blog button works as well now.

All the best

Many thanks for your help.
