Wordpress: Problem adding comment functionality to a page - wordpress

if anyone can figure this out, thanks a million!
I wanted to have my wp install at root level where the homepage displays excerpts of latest blogs but I still wanted the top navigation to point to a "blog" page www.mydomain.com/blog which displays the full latest blog (and allows comments).
I thought I was being clever by creating a new Page Template just for this blog page - I copy/pasted the single post code into this template and created a static page called blog using that template. My permalink structure ensures if would be found like so www.mydomain.com/blog.
It all works beautifully except no comments functionality - I tried googling and trying a few things but comments_template('', true) and variations at various points in the page didnt do the trick. Best I can do is: comments_popup_link('No Comments | Click to Comment', '1 Comment | Click to Comment', '% Comments | Click to Comment');
Please smart people, come to my rescue :)
Thanks!

Create a page and make it your front page.
Visit the Administration > Settings > Reading panel and under Front page displays, you can choose to set any (published) Page or Posts Page as the Front Page.
Create a page called 'blog', and choose this as your posts page in the reading panel.
Hope this helps.

Cannot create Elementor Posts page in Wordpress although I have selected in Reading page

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!
UPDATED
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.

Can't Modify Wordpress Theme from Dashboard

Has anyone ever worked with the Booard theme created – but no longer sold or supported – by Theme-Paradise? My boss has asked me to update a simple button link on the page below and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to modify a page with this theme. As I'm new to the company I don't yet have access to the server to modify the theme files, so I'm confined to the WP dashboard. I've looked through the editor but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The page I need help with: http://www.tech-30.com/careers/
I found it. If you click on Edit Page > 'Screen Options' at the top of the page and enable 'Custom Fields' it opens up a JSON page builder with shortcode text field entries further down on the page under the post field entry. I was able to change the link from there. It took a while to update so I wasn't seeing it on the site for whatever reason.

Display content from other pages on wordpress home page

I want to display the content from different pages on my wordpress home page in a way that it displays an image, page heading and some content with the link to that page. Any help is appreciated. If there is any plugin available please let me know that. Sorry to all the pros, i am, just a beginner in wordpress. I have attached an image too of what i am, looking for.
Thanks and Regards.
I suggest you use post instead of pages and than display those posts in you home page.
I would suggest using the plugin Advanced Custom Fields on one page or post, and then pulling them onto other pages in the template(s) using this line:
<p><?php the_field('your_field_name', 123); ?></p>
The "123" is the page ID of where your content is. It can be found in the URL when you're editing a page/post. Then you only have to edit one page, and it will change on all pages that you wish to display it on.

Wordpress: when I click on a post, in a category, it loads the category, instead of the post content

Here is a link to a site I am working on for a friend.
http://jayclarkephotography.com/category/wedding/
When I click on I click on "Wedding Test" or "Long's Wedding Gallery", it loads the category, not the post itself, I was messing around in the CSS and some of the PHP the other day and might have messed something up. I really need some help with this - I am not a web designer by any means but have a basic understanding of how it works.
Thank you for your help!
When you click on a post ("Wedding Test" or "Long's Wedding Gallery") it takes you to that post.
Wordpress by default when you add a post it creates a link after your website (for example http://YOURWEBSITE.com/YOUR-POST/) - If you want it to go to http://YOURWEBSITE.com/YOUR_CATEGORY/YOUR-POST/ you will have to set up custom taxonomies

Wordpress blog page

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.
