So I think you already know that Front page is your home page ... while Posts page is the page that displays your blog posts.

The first thing you need to understand about WordPress is that none of the pages on your site actually exist as a physical file.* Everything runs through the index.php file of your WordPress installation directory. That's a very standard, very old practice for dynamically-driven websites.

With regards to the "Front page displays" setting, it's not so much that an empty page is serving your posts. It's more that you are telling WordPress to use an existing page to serve as your home page and/or your posts page ... but if you decide to change things back again, subsequent access to those pages will revert to serving whatever content you added when you initially created the page.

As an interesting quirk, your site's search results (i.e. the WordPress search feature - not Google, Bing, etc) will return whatever content you added via your admin dashboard ... not what you actually see 🙂 That's because the WordPress search feature analyzes the database.

Hope that helps.

And you are correct - my site is currently in Maintenance Mode 🙂 But you can always contact me via the other four options below it 🙂

* In simple terms (since this is just a bit of background, you weren't really asking about it, and talking about Apache or nginx configuration files may be out of scope here), the exception is when you use a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache ... which actually creates a physical file for almost every publicly-accessible page, then stores it in your cache directory ... and when someone requests that page, they will receive that physical file if it exists ... thus bypassing a lot of application server processing ... saving a lot of time and server resources. It's the database access that really slows things down.

I truly appreciate how well you explain so I can understand, it's rare for me... 🙂
