The site is under this link https://goo.gl/R2Bt6J
Now I see! What you were trying to do? I see your blog directory working as expected. Have you tried renaming your posts page to Post Index, or in some cases, content index? If you named your directory, “blog”… you will get a duplicate “/blog/” directory built to it. If you have trouble… try setting up a subdomain instead. and then set “blog” as your subdomain, you need to be comfortable with setting up a wordpress multisite. If you want to see a working live example… see this link: http://fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/new-magic-posts/. In order for subdomains to work; see this article: http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-via-subdomains-need-a-wildcard-subdomain-in-order-for-these-subdomain-based-sites-to-work/. If you’re not sure what’s a multisite is. Refer to the WordPress codex article about setting up a network: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network for help. You may need to experiment with using a path-based multisites,–if you were implementing a multisite via directories.

The site is on root and the folder “blog” recreates itself every now and then, I do not know what triggers it, but for now you won’t see a blank page instead of blog feed because I fixed(removed “blog” folder from root) the issue, I do not know for how long though, that’s the problem, maybe if I knew that I could sort the problem out much easier than setting up subdomain or multisite. Can you please try to answer what can trigger the folder to reappear? Saving something on admin panel? I have no idea.. Just to note one thing, I have no directory for blog on root. It is just one of the pages on the menu, I really don’t get it. I’ve seen many other pages with Blog in the menu, do they all have subdomains setup for it??
For me to answer this further… please tell me these steps to reproduce a problem. Providing steps to reproduce a problem enables me to help you resolve your problem.
If you were having problems… but steps are NOT provided,–I’m aren’t able to figure out what problem you have.

go to my website and instead of blog at the end of link add blog-old2 and hit enter, you’ll see the problem then
Now I see. If you were setting up a page, and you named it as blog for your latest posts. That’s how it works. But this folder what I discovered is empty. Keep in mind; your posts pages are automatically paginated to sort older posts,–if your site grows overtime. Try deleting the blog-old2 folder and use my suggestions:
What I explained earlier… my latest posts page doesn’t need a folder, but a /pagename/ after my main domain is just a page with a slug. Alternatively; you can use a different name for your page where your posts are displayed, such as buzz, or latest news.
Try writing some articles on your site, and provide me the latest posts page URL so I can take even a closer look. Sounds like you’re not familiar with dynamic structures on WordPress itself. An example link what I provided earlier in this forum shows you how did this page set as a posts page is implemented. I see you already implemented a home page on your website. But I discovered the link “Read My Blog” is broken,–leading to a 404 error. You can fix it by removing the letter “S” from the slug blog, and update your link. Never the less… be sure to implement alt tags with text to your images,–that will make it easier for me to identify the source of the problem. Since my vision don’t work, I have to use my screen-reader to navigate on your website. You may need to rewrite parts of your website to make your site accessible.
When you create a page for your blog posts, your WordPress install will NOT create a blog folder. That’s just a page configured to display post pages. No folder created.
