I chose Wordpress for my last project but I have a question. I'll use Pages so the client is able to change the content himself. For the moment there are no Post or blog in it. Is it possible to run Wordpess without a blog? It'll be a blog in a future but not now. Thanks.
Absolutely you can have a WordPress site without a blog. You just need to do a couple of things in the admin.
First you need to create 2 pages: a static 'home' page, and a 'blog index' page. The home page is what will be displayed when a visitor comes to the site. The blog index page is just a blank page, with a title you can remember.
Next, in Settings > Reading, select Front page displays a 'static page', then set 'Front page:' to the home page you made, and 'Posts page:' to the blog index page you made.
Yes, for sure you can do this.
Just do the following:
In your admin backend click on Settings -> Reading and set "A Static Page"
Go to Appearance and build a custom menu and add there your pages to a active menu.
Disable all widgets which link to posts.
In fact you need only the first step, but with the second you allow users to navigate on your site. To make the UX better, just add a plugin like Map Categories to Pages to add a category widget or something in this way, to let people browse your site more nicely.

I want to use my Posts page with Elementor modules.
I have done my Homepage like that
but cannot do the same with Posts page.
I have created an empty page,
added some modules.
And selected this page as Posts page in Reading page.
But when I click a page on my website,
my Elementor Posts page is not seen,
the default Wordpress page is seen.
Update :
I'm using Neve theme on Wordpress v5.8
My website address is Tubefavorites.com
My homepage with Elementor and posts page with default Wordpress has different fonts
and my homepage and posts page's components are in different order.
(In homepage its Tags, Categories, ...
In my posts page its Tags, Last Posts, ...
I'm working online in browser (its not local).
There is no error on Chrome Console.
Update end.
Currently I'm trying this in Turkish pages.
I will make the English Elementor page after I fix this.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Do you have Elementor enabled for post?
Thus, if I understood correctly, you have created a page post and want to add it as homepage. You should go to settings - reading and select via dropdown the page you have created! Then, you will see your page as homepage and not the default one
There is also an explanation in support forum, that someone has the same problem. Please read below:
"Looks like you’re trying to edit your Posts page that has been assigned in your WordPress Reading settings (Settings > Reading). If this is the case, you may not be able to edit the assigned Posts page directly with Elementor (Basic version).
You can try deselecting the page (in the “Posts Page” box within your Reading settings) then try editing this page with Elementor"
link to the source: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-load-posts-page-with-elementor/
Thus, disable your page through Settings - Reading, edit/modify (whatever you want) your Post page. After that, you could add your page blog posts URL to the meny item (or use this URL to wherever is nessecary)
EDITED
What plugin are you using for the translations?
I saw your homepage playing correct, right? Thus, you have selected your custom page correctly, through the Settings - Reading.
Now, if you want to see the same results in Turkish, you need to translate your home page too! So, add the translation in turkish language too, or duplicate the english version for turkish one and it will play!

I think there is an issue with the blog page (and single post template, as I am reading in WP forum for this theme). Try to check inside Appearence -> Customize, if there is any options there, thus could change the blog template. Somehow the theme overwrites your options. Furthermore, take a look at the blog theme's doc here:
https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1306-neve-blog-archive-options
I have learned that, I have to use Templates page, in Elementor Pro.
I didn't have been selected it.
Thanks to Hakkı Uçar for this
and for installing and for helping.
I am trying to set my shop page as a homepage for site. It's an easy action in wp-admin. The problem that I am getting message No products were found matching your request.
At the same time everything OK on shopPage.
I've tried to play with visibility, categories, attributes but still can't customize them properly. I believe, there should be some settings I've missed.
Homepage set to shop page - http://52.58.27.104/
Usual shop page - http://52.58.27.104/shop
Edit
Setting->Reading
WooCommerce->Settings->Products
Settings->Permalinks
Usually to change the page that shows as default you should login to the admin panel then go to Settings -> Reading -> Static Page and from there pick your site. If that's the way you did it then that will remove the extension off your page like the www.site.com/shop will be www.site.com which now means woocomerce is trying to find a /shop section. You have to change the woocomerce section to select the new page that the items are located. Either one by one or through the woocomerce general settings.
Hope that helps
I chose a single page as home page in my WordPress blog setting, but I want my posts to be visible as well. Is there a url (or any other way) to access the posts list (like the homepage in normal WordPress blogs)?
In order to do so, you can use recent posts widget plugin.
This demo can help you out (Seek video to 1:00).
Yes there is.
first add new page to your website.
then go to setting>reading and select that page in post page field
I want to make a public blog, Where user can write from the frontend after login.
Basically in wordpress, after login, Users being redirect to wp-admin, the Dashboard. And there they have the 'new post' functionality. But i want to keep that away from my bloggers. They will login from the custom login panel in the sidebar and they will have a new post link there, which will take them to www.domainname.com/new-post or something like that. There they will have the full functionality of wordpress content editor. Upload, Main text-area with Editor, Tag and Category. All of them in the frontend so that i don't have to show them the wp-admin section.
is there any way to make this happen?
It looks like that what you describes can be easily done with this plug-in:

Quick question (quick deadline...I know I can use google).
I'm writing a site on Wordpress w/ a static home page, it has a few pages--I want the 'blog' page to show the wp entries...what's the best way to set this up.
Right now I have a static template for each page (with content rendered), but of course, the blog page doesn't show the posts...
Thanks for the help!
Create a Wordpress Page Template by making a page with any name and this comment at the top:
/*
Template Name: Blog Enitres
*/
Go create a page, use that as the template (there is a selector on the right hand side). Call it whatever and save it. This is your static page.
Then, after that, go down to Settings > Reading and change the 'Home' page to be the page you've created.
Then create an index.php and save it. This will be the template for the displayed posts. Create an empty page and select it at the 'Posts Page' in settings.
