Title: Posts Page Problem Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Posts Page Problem * Resolved [nickymoo1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickymoo1/) * (@nickymoo1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/) * Hi Guys, * I’m having a bit of an issue with my WordPress site tailoreddigitalsolutions. co.uk – Twenty Twelve child theme WP version 3.9. * I’ve created a static front page and I’m looking for my posts page to be my blog and have defined this in my reading settings but for some reason my ‘blog’ is pulling my homepage content and then throwing in the blog content below without any formating. The blog page can be seen here [http://tailoreddigitalsolutions.co.uk/digital-marketing-blog/](http://tailoreddigitalsolutions.co.uk/digital-marketing-blog/) * I’ve been scratch my head over this for hours, wondering if it’s something to do with the functions.php file? My homepage is a custom page I’ve created and even when I set this page to use the default template file the blog still manages to locate and display the home.php file? * My site isn’t quite ready for public consumption just yet but I’m completely stuck on this and so I’m going to have to throw it out there! * Thanks in advance for any help. * Nicky Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870866) * There seems to be a mis-edit in that particular template. Elements that should be in the header are appearing after the `` tag. * Can you post the front page template somewhere like pastebin.com and then post the link in here so that we can have a look-see? * Thread Starter [nickymoo1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickymoo1/) * (@nickymoo1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870870) * Thanks very much for your quick response WPRanger – here is my pastebin: * [http://pastebin.com/rB80zr24](http://pastebin.com/rB80zr24) * Nicky * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870917) * It’s this that’s spitting out that content, right down near the bottom: * `` * Thread Starter [nickymoo1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickymoo1/) * (@nickymoo1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870924) * Thanks WP, how come the posts page is pulling in the home page content though even though I’ve defined that page is to use the default template and posts are to be published on that page within the reading settings? * Nicky * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870926) * Not sure. Do you have any content in that particular defined page. I see you fixed things now anyway 🙂 * Thread Starter [nickymoo1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickymoo1/) * (@nickymoo1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870935) * I fixed the split content issue, thanks for your help with that but now the blog has reverted back to showing the homepage content only. * I don’t have any content defined within the page itself however it is the page that I have set to have my posts published to? * Nicky * [SheriKeat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sherikeat/) * (@sherikeat) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-problem-3/#post-4870946) * NAFW Hi Total computer illiterate here so make explanation basic please!! I can’t get home page to work. I put in the information and the color changes I wanted but it won’t work. Is this Because I have it set too invisable (If I can figure this out it will be a magazine not a blog so it needs to publish all at once) or am I making a different error. NAFW are those the right initials?
