Hitting the keys on your keyboard or scolding your computer won’t help. Here’s the solution.

To not be able to update the blog page is one of the most common challenges in WordPress. A Google search for “can’t edit blog page” returns 678 000 000(!) results. Here’s the explanation to why you can’t edit your posts page – and how to fix it.

⚡ Here’s the blog post mentioned in the video: https://divimundo.com/en/blog/fix-cant-edit-blog-page/

I will use Divi in this example, but the fast fix will work for any WordPress page builder, for example:

* Elementor and Elementor Pro
* WP Bakery
* Gutenberg Blocks
* Brizy Builder
* Visual Composer
* … and more.

  1. Hi, I need help. Im unable to edit the home page in WP. Using Divi theme, whenever I click edit on the home page. It will prompt 3 options, start building, browse layouts and choose page (clone). I have tried searching high and low online, exploring all the menus in WP but I still can't find the solution to it.

  2. Hi! I change the setting in the first place of the POSTS option but when I select default all my posts disappear and it shows a blank page when I change the setting and add a post page everything is there but can't edit pictures or anything. I am using Elementor.

  3. I just tried this, and all it seemed to do is change my blog page into a normal page. Yes, I could edit it with Elementor now, but it has no content. I already had a page with the Elementor Posts widget as a temporary solution, but I want my posts page to inherit the posts layout, which has a sidebar that all posts inherit. Setting it as the blog page does that, but then I can't edit it, which I need to do because my main menu has white text in a transparent header, and the blog pages have a white background. Back to the drawing board.

  4. Thank you! I was checking blocks, customize, and Kadence, and WordPress articles. You're the first person I found to solve this. I hope not having a posts page selected doesn't affect SEO?

  5. This a great video but I am still stuck after going to settings and changing the option to select, I am able to edit the page (which is great!) but all the blog posts have disappeared, I wondered if you had any advice to help me fix this please? Many thanks

  6. I would just like to reach out to you and say a huge thank you for creating this video. For over two weeks now I had been trying to discover why the heck my blog page had stopped working as it should.. not even showing the featured image or anything. And today, after i said out loud that this would be the last time i tried to fix it, i searched a big well known search engine again, and your video was the first to come up! It hadn't been in my search results previously. Needless to say, it is all now sorted, thanks to you. I am beyond grateful. Jo x😁
