Add Posts to admin panel

    I looked at a bunch of other forum topics, and most people have issues with “missing posts”. However, my issue is that the “Posts” button is literally missing from my Admin Panel. Normally the “Posts” button would show up on the top left, right below the “Dashboard” button in the Admin Panel. Where would I go about enabling Posts?

    I will say for context that I am using a custom theme that someone else made, and they did not initially include Posts in it apparently. I read this page:
    https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/add_theme_support/
    but there’s nothing in there to enable Posts in general, it’s only to add extra functionality to Posts.

    Some more context, it does let me go to Settings > Reading > and select a Posts Page. I just can’t find an actual Posts admin section. Any advice would be appreciated.

    If you are using a custom theme, it may well be that the person who developed it has suppressed the output of posts in the admin area. This can then only be adjusted by adapting the programming of the custom theme. In this case, you should contact the developer or use a different theme in the future.

    However, there may be other reasons for this:
    Perhaps you and your user do not have sufficient rights to access the posts. If you have administrator rights, it should normally work. Or even as an editor.
    You may also have integrated a plugin that hides the posts. This would be possible, for example, with User Role Editor and/or Adminimize.

    You could verify all this by changing the theme to a standard theme, e.g. TwentyTwentyOny. You could also deactivate all plugins. Check in each case whether the view changes for you.

    Thank you for replying, in this case it really is the custom theme suppressing the Posts. I’ll try to contact the developer.
