How do I set a link to go to all the blog posts when I’m using the Presentation Page? Without presentation it would just go to the full blog, but with it how do I get to all posts? Do I have to set a category called “Blog” and put all the categories as subcategories of it? (Would that horribly mess up my permalinks?) My permalinks are set to post name.
Thanks. I love Mantra. Just need to figure it all out.
Hi Lisa,
Why not just set up a new page called Blog, or News, and set that as your blog page in the settings? If you go to Settings >> Reading you can specify which pages to use for your front page, and blog posts page.
That way you could have a link in the main menu to your blog posts without changing the Presentation Page at all.
Note I am not one of the geniuses behind Mantra, just a big fan of the theme! 🙂

Sorry, I’m confused. What would that link be? I thought I needed that setting to be “Your Latest Posts” for the Presentation page to show as the front page – and the Presentation Page isn’t an option for me to choose if I change that to “A Static Page”. I’m sure this is easy, surely a theme with a presentation page also has a setting for showing all the blog posts once you get beyond that page, but I haven’t figured it.
If I make a Page called Blog, I can use that in Menu, but what link do I use to show full lists of posts. So far I figured out I can use the year link to show the most recent, but it won’t go back further/continuously. (i.e. http://website.com/blogname/2013) I’ve actually just used a custom link in the Menu for that until I figure a better solution. I know I can use “Most Recent Posts” and “Archives” as widgets, but those don’t have links to the whole blog, just individual posts.
I still have not been able to resolve this issue.
Thanks for your help, please.
Mantra is an awesome theme but I’m having issues locating the edit point or the “This could be a title” and the “And this is a second title” on the presentation page. Please, does anybody have an idea how to edit these text? Thanks
@Lisa : Please read Q17 of the Mantra FAQs. It should make things a bit clearer.
@Ebohnor, Sebastian go to Mantra Settings >> Presentation Page >> Extras >> Extra Text.
