Static home page with separate posts page
In WordPress, static home page is possible via the General Settings. Or you can choose to display your blog posts. But how do have both?
Easy. Just add something like this to your functions.php
file:
function get_posts_page_url() {
if('page' == get_option('show_on_front')) {
$posts_page_id = get_option('page_for_posts');
$posts_page = get_page($posts_page_id);
$posts_page_url = site_url(get_page_uri($posts_page_id));
} else {
$posts_page_url = site_url();
}
return $posts_page_url;
}
Here is one way of using this function, using a link to display your blog posts:
<a href="<?php echo get_posts_page_url(); ?>">LINK</a>
