Genesis Featured page widget – no "blog" page

[osian]

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, and not overly-techie, so any help would be truly appreciated!

I'm running Wordrpess 4.6.1, Genesis with Maker Pro theme (3rd party http://jtgrauke.com/documentation/maker-pro/) - so I'm not sure if this is a Genesis or a theme issue.

My blog page does not appear in the dropdown of the "Genesis Featured Page" widget. I tried deleting/republishing the page with the blog template, but it still does not appear. I can't find anything online which might help my cause, despite trying.

Has anyone encountered this, or can anyone offer a fix?

Many thanks,
Osian

Hi Osian,

the featured page widget is meant to show single pages, not (blog) archives

Hi Christoph,
Many thanks for your reply. I think I may need to ask the theme developer, as this is a functionality noted in the documentation (http://jtgrauke.com/documentation/maker-pro/)

All the best,
Osian 🙂

Hi Ossian,

well you can use a page that uses the blog page template.
It won't show the page set under Settings - Reading - Front page displays - A static page - Posts page.

Thank you so much Cristoph. i changed the setting in Settings>Reading so that the "posts page" is left blank, and it solves my issue. I do wonder if that has any effect on how WordPress core recognises your "blog" page. How peculiar!

Best wishes,
Osian
