Getting rid of 'Nothing Found' on Homepage

  • kileytan · Member ·

    Hi

    I’ve got a static site and I’ve set the homepage options properly but I’m still getting a ‘Nothing Found’ message.

    Check out the site: https://kileytan.wordpress.com/

    Can someone please help?

    Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I suggest that you clear your browser cache because I do not see the error message on any of your three pages. https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

    Nothing Found
    It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

    There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    This is an one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page.
    (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

    re: static front page
    By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors who will not be happy to have to click through an About page every time they visit your blog as they come to read your most recently published content. Creating that situation can make some visitors annoyed – so annoyed that they stop following your blog.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for all published posts (not pages) to display on in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top.

    To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change for each of the two page and click “save changes”.
    A static page (select below)
    Front page:
    Posts page:
