Generating a separate blog page for WordPress

As you know, WordPress lets you set up your site to easily have a custom home page. So, you can freely select any page on your site to become a blog page.

Now, first of all, let’s generate two pages that you will use for the homepage and blog page. Click on Pages -> Add New. You needn’t add any content for them, simply enter the name for 2 pages like the image below. You can name for a blog page is News or something like that.

After creating two pages for the blog page and homepage, you need to go to Settings -> Reading. In the Your homepage displays section, let’s choose A Static page. Then, simply select Home for Homepage part and Blog for Posts page part.

Don’t forget to save your changes after finishing the settings.

Now, you are able to visit Pages -> All Pages to see the new labels at the Blog and the Home page.
