How to Create a Separate Page for Blog Posts in WordPress

Do you want to create a separate page for blog posts in WordPress? By default, WordPress displays your blog posts on the homepage.

However, if you are making a business website or simply want to customize your homepage, then you may want a separate page for your blog section.

In this article, we will show you how to easily create a separate page for blog posts in WordPress.

If you’d prefer written instructions, just keep reading.

Setup WordPress to Create a Separate Blog Page

WordPress allows you to easily configure your website to have a custom home page. This feature also allows you to choose any other page on your website to be used as your blog page.

First, you need to create two pages in WordPress that you would like to use as your homepage and blog page.

Publish blog and home pages in WordPress

You don’t need to add any content to those pages, and you can even name them anything else if you want. For instance, some business websites use News for their blog page.

Once you have created those pages, you can head over to the Settings » Reading page in the WordPress admin area.

Under the ‘Your homepage displays’ section, you need to click on the ‘ A static page’ option. After that, you can select the home and blog pages you created earlier.

Select blog and home page

You can now go to Pages » All Pages section in admin area. You’ll notice your blog and homepage with new labels. Go ahead, and click on the View link under those pages to preview them.

Blog page preview

The appearance of these pages depends on your WordPress theme, and you may need to configure your theme settings.

Since each WordPress theme has different options, you’ll have to check out your theme’s documentation or check the options under Appearance » Customize page.

We’ll also show you other methods later in this article.

Put The Blog Page Link to Your Website’s Navigation Menu

Blog link in navigation menu

Now that you have created a separate blog page let’s help your website visitors find that.

Simply visit the Appearance » Menus page and add the Blog page you created earlier to your website’s navigation menu.

Adding blog page link to navigation menu

For more detailed instructions, see our beginner’s guide to navigation menus in WordPress.

Customizing Your Homepage

By default, many WordPress themes come with a built-in template to display a static page as your website’s front page. However, you’ll still need to set it up under Appearance » Customize.

Theme customizer

Some WordPress themes also allow you to choose a homepage template for your page. If your theme comes with such a template, then you can select it by editing the Home page.

Selecting a page template

Finally, you can use a WordPress page builder plugin to use simple drag and tools to create your homepage from scratch.

We recommend using Beaver Builder as it is the best WordPress WordPress page builder plugin on the market. It is super-easy to use, includes ready-made templates, and super-flexible to create any layout you want.

Editing homepage in Beaver Builder

For more details, see our tutorial on how to create a how to create a custom home page in WordPress.

Customize Your Blog Page Design

By default, WordPress automatically looks for a template in your WordPress theme to display posts on a separate blog page.

If your theme does not have one, then it automatically falls back to the archive template. For more details, see our guide on the WordPress template hierarchy.

Now, if you don’t like how your theme handles your blog page, then you can change that using some extra tools and without writing any code.

First, you will need to install and activate the Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer plugins. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Beaver Themer is an add-on plugin for Beaver Builder and enables you to not just create pages but entire new WordPress themes from scratch.

First, you need to visit Beaver Builder » Themer Layouts page and click on the Add New button.

Themer Layout

From here you can provide a name for your layout, select ‘Themer Layout’ as your type, and then select Archive as your layout.

This will create a themer layout for the archive templates. On the next screen, you need to select ‘Post Archive’ for location option and then click on the ‘Launch Beaver Builder’ button.

Launch Beaver Builder

This will open the Beaver Builder with your selected layout. You can simply point and click at any item on the screen and start editing it. You can also add new rows, columns, and web elements to the page.

Editing your blog posts layout in Beaver Builder

For more details, see our guide on how to create a custom WordPress theme (without coding).

Once you are finished editing, you can simply publish your layout. After that, visit your blog page to see it in action.

Blog page template

    Thanks it’s very helpful. But can you make the post slug following the blog?

    for example.my blog post will be example.com/blog

    can we make the new post and show the slug like this “example.com/blog/new-post” instead of “example.com/new-post” ?

I’ve got a different home page so i did the static page thing which worked, but the feature image on the blog index page is enormous and I’d like to reduce it. I don’t know how to reduce it.

    Hi,

    I created the blog page as you suggested so that I can create a static page. I like it! However, I don’t know if it’s because of a plugin that I’ve since deleted, or not, but my single blog posts aren’t showing my logo and menu. They show on the static page and on any menu page when I click on it, but they’re missing on the actual single blog posts. My blog’s title is the first thing you see at the top of the page. I need help figuring this out. Do you have any idea why?

    If I have a blog that currently uses the default option of posts going to the front page, and I have three+ years of blog posts, can I still create and publish two pages (HOME and BLOG), select them in the dashboard correctly and have this work as described?

      No, you would need to set the posts page in your settings for it to list your posts like a blog. If you want the recent posts on a second page, you would want to check with the support for your currently active theme for if that is available.

      For that, rather than creating pages it may be best to use WordPress’ default category pages by adding them to the menu and WordPress will list the posts in that category on the category page. We have an article showing how to add the categories to you menu here:

    I built a site a couple of years ago with no intention of ever adding a blog. Now I’d like to add one. Originally I built the home page “latest post” not a “static” page. Retrospectively I can clearly see the error of my ways. Is there an easy method to change things now?
    I keep coming back to the conclusion I need to build the blog on a subdomain.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you, Jim R

      If you want to keep your home page the same while adding a blog page you could use a plugin like the shortcode plugin we recommend in our article here:

    I want to ad a blog page displaying 5-10 of our latest posts per page but I don’t want to lose my current home page displaying our latest posts. I’d like to be able to maintain my current categoried formal posts/articles while adding a section of running blog posts. Can I have my cake and eat it too or am o asking too much?

      You would likely want to take a look at the plugin from our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-recent-posts-in-wordpress/
      for what it sounds like you want.

      For what it sounds like you’re wanting, you could create category pages to separate your content. You would add the category to your menu to get the url for the category page as we show in our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-navigation-menu-in-wordpress-beginners-guide/

    I watched the tutorial and did what it said. Nothing appears when I click the Blog item on my menu. Where can I go for help?

      You would want to ensure the blog item in your menu is linking to the page you set as your posts page, you have posts published, and you cleared your cache for the most common reasons for nothing appearing.

    Hi there, I am new to WP with the free plan.
    I cannot find the “Dahsboard>Appearance> Menu> ” and my screen environment is totally different from yours. Is it only available for those paid users?
    Thanks, Kennix

      Our tutorials are for WordPress.org sites, you can see the differences here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/
      If you wanted a similar look to the admin area on your site then there should be a menu item to go to your wp-admin area :)

    I have a blog page on my business website, but the appearance is very basic. How do I style it? Is there any good blog page template available that I can reuse?

    I understand basic coding of wordpress, but not a designer.

      You would normally style using CSS or you could take a look into other theme options if you want a different look for that page.

    I’m adding a blog to our existing word page site, doing pages > add new > title: blog> save preview okay see it looks good – and publish going to settings > readings > static page> post page > blog. And then my blog page shows up blank even if I add post they don’t appear there. What am I doing wrong…?

      As long as the posts page was saved it sounds like you’ve set it up correctly, you may want to try clearing your cache and reaching out to your theme’s support to see if they are overriding the posts page for some reason

    Unfortunately, this did not solve my solution. I thought maybe something snapped n my website, because all of a sudden my posts are not showing on my blog page (my home page data is showing on the blog page as well as my Home (static) page)…any thoughts??

    These instructions seem to be for a business account with WordPress. Is there a way to accomplish this with a “Blogger” plan?

    How can I edit the page that displays my blog posts? For example, I’d like to add an intro section which says “Our collection of articles detailing how we do things inside the studio” but WordPress doesn’t allow me to do that.

      You would want to first check with your theme’s support to see if there is a built-in method to do that as some themes have that option and others don’t
