 * I want to use a new page for my posts.
    But when I create the page and designate
   it as the Posts page none of my prior posts show. Is it possible to move all 
   existing posts to show on a new posts page?

 * Hi Soukous,
 * Are you trying to create a static home page and then designate a different page
   for your blog posts? For example, [http://www.myblog.com/blog](http://www.myblog.com/blog)?
 * To do this, create your page and then go to Settings > Reading and change the
   _Front Page Displays_ to **A static page**.
 * Select your static page and your new page for the blog posts. All your blog posts
   will be moved to the new page.

 * I already have a static home page and a separate blogs page. I need to change
   the blog page as it was originally created with the wrong name (which is not 
   good for SEO). I created a new blog page and designated it in Settings>Reading,
   but none of my existing posts showed on the new page.

 * What happens if you switch temporarily to the default 2012 theme?

 * I have not tried that. Is it safe to switch themes back & forth?

 * Should be safe to switch back and forth.
 * If you’re concerned I would just do a backup before making a lot of changes.
