Using GP shop template, editing blog page leads to "empty page"

Dear GP Team,
I'm trying to edit the blog page using your shop template but when I click on "edit page", it leads me to a page where there is nothing, cf. images. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much for your kind help.
Hi there,
in Dashboard > Settings > Reading you will see that Your homepage displays a Static Page and your Latest Posts are set to display on your Blog page.
When this is so, the Blog Page is an automatically generated archive page, that cannot be directly edited.
If you want to create a blog page, then unset the Latest Posts page in the Settings > Reading.
Then you can edit your Blog Page, and use a plugin like GenerateBLocks to add your own post lists.
Hi David, thank you but I don't understand what I have to "unset". In Settings > Reading the "your latest posts" is already unset i.e. not chosen - or do I misunderstand something? What should the settings look like? Here's a link to what I see:
Where it says: Posts page: change that so it says - Select - - that will unset the blog page.
Thank you, David, done. When I now choose the edit for the Blog page, I still get the same image, though, cf. link. And I still can't find the posts which are called "Latest Articles" in your shop template, cf. screen. Where are they? 😬
Hi there,
The latest article section is inserted using WP show posts plugin.
You can find it at dashboard > WP show posts.
Thanks a lot, Ying! 💚
You are welcome :)
