When I use the blog template in tempera, the page appears in the menu, but when I try to open the page, I get an “Error Establishing a Database Connection” message. How do I fix this?

Peace,
Donna

OK, I solved the problem, but I have another question about the blog template feature. Basically it seems like it just makes a blog page and regurgitates the same copy off the home page. Is there any way to make this blog page a stand-alone page, so I can insert posts directly on that page?

Hi Donna,

The blog page is intended to just show your latest posts. If you want certain posts on certain pages, categories and category pages are meant just for that.

Good luck!

Hi Kay,

Thanks. I got it. I just set the presentation page to display only the first two posts and the rest will just be displayed on the blog page…I finally figured it out! LOL 🙂

Take care,

Peace,
Donna
