# Plugin Doesn’t Display Blog Posts

 * I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue at [https://thecollegecrusade.org](https://thecollegecrusade.org)
   using the WPTouch plugin. The previous web designer set up various pages throughout
   the site where content is being generated from blog entries.
 * For instance:
 * [https://thecollegecrusade.org/tccri/meet-our-advisors](https://thecollegecrusade.org/tccri/meet-our-advisors)
   
   [http://thecollegecrusade.org/tccri/crublog](http://thecollegecrusade.org/tccri/crublog)
 * None of these cases with post lists are showing up on mobile.
 * Am I to believe these aren’t showing up because I can’t designate one blog in
   the WPTouch settings? Various pages are using blog content in different ways—
   often with a custom template to change how the page is presented. In other words,
   a person is created as a blog post and sent to the advisors page in a certain
   format, while traditional news posts are sent to the main blog in another format.
 * So, the issue is perhaps I can’t designate one blog page in the WPTouch settings
   since there are multiple instances of pages using post lists? Is there a workaround?
 * Thanks in advance for any feedback!

 * that’s because wpt totally bypasses any custom templates in your theme:-\
 * i work around the problem by symlinking my theme’s templates to the wpt theme:
 *     ```
       cd wp-content/plugins/wptouch/themes/bauhaus/default/
       ln -s ../../../../../themes/mytheme/customTemplate.php .
       ```
   
 * these symlinks may or may not survive updates, depending on how they are done…

 * Hi Matt,
 * Like airdrummer said, WPtouch loads its own theme with its own templates. So 
   any pages or posts using a custom template in the desktop theme will not be ‘
   seen’ by WPtouch.
 * You can use a workaround to add symlinks to your custom page templates in the
   desktop theme like airdrummer has shown. Or, in WPtouch Pro you can use its child
   theme feature which supports custom page templates. When adding a custom page
   template to a WPtouch Pro child theme, you’ll be able to easily select it in 
   the page editor via a dropdown, similar to WordPress’s native page template selection.

 * Thanks airdrummer and Emilio!
 * I think I’m going to go for the Pro version of the plugin assuming the client
   is on board with the expense. 🙂 Emilio, I would also need the $15 make child
   extension to easily generate the child themes, correct?
 * Thanks again for your help,

 * Matt,
 * You don’t need the make child theme extension to create child themes, but it 
   does make the process a lot easier. You’ll be able to create child themes directly
   via the WPtouch Pro admin panel, and even copy and edit templates.
 * You’re welcome.
