Home page is latest posts but doesn't show up if you click home

The blog post problem has occurred again - this time on a different web site. I have one post. I have a home page and an about page. Whenever I click the home button in the menu - I have a page which is empty.

I have the following (set identically in my other website which is working):

Customizer:
Front Page - displays latest posts

OK - so what am I not getting?

Thanks for your help guys.

Hi Jane. This is what is displayed in the browser when you click the Home menu button:

http://www.jane-ripley.com/?page_id=62

And this is the anchor tag on the menu link:

<a href="http://www.jane-ripley.com/?page_id=62">Home</a>

Which would seem to indicate that the menu item is pointing to a defined page which doesn't have any content.

What happens if you change your Home menu item link to http://www.jane-ripley.com ?

HI DB,

I have checked the custom link and it is just pointed to jane-ripley. Is this something else? Sorry I am really new at this. Is there somewhere else I should be working on the menu link other than appearance, menu?

Thanks,
Jane

Hi Jane,

Your Home link is definitely linking to http://www.jane-ripley.com/?page_id=62 instead of http://www.jane-ripley.com/.

If you've confirmed that the Home Custom Link is pointing to the correct URL, make sure the "Theme Location" of that menu is set to "Primary Menu".

That did it. You truly know your stuff. And I really do appreciate all of your support - THANK YOU!

No problem :)
