    Went through the instructions to assign a blog page to display the posts but it doesn’t work for me.

    The site is in 3 languages (uses WPML) and the blogs will only be written in Spanish and should only appear on the Spanish site. I created an empty page called “Blog” and assigned this page as the blog page in Enfold (Spanish theme settings).

    After reading posts on this forum, I selected the option “USe teh advanced layout editor” and inserted content element “blog” in the page.

    However, no posts show up there.

    What am I not doing correctly?

    Hey lernerleben!

    So the site blog posts are not displaying at all when the site is viewed in Spanish? Send us a WordPress login and we’ll take a look.

    Keep in mind that if you want them to display in other languages then they need to be translated first.

    Regards,

    Hi Elliott

    The language of the page “Blog” is Spanish. The language of the post “test blog post” is Spanish. There are no versions in other languages. The page and post only show in the admin when I change the admin to the Spanish Enfold.

    I can display the post if I add a category to the menu or call the post directly. The problem is that the settings in Enfold don’t display anything. What I want is a menu item called blog which displays all future posts.

    I have created an admin login for you.

    Hi!

    You do not have a blog page set. Which page is it exactly that your having the issue on?

    Best regards,

    Hi Elliott

    I have found the solution:

    The problem is the category. When selecting the option “And where do you want to display the Blog?”, a new category called “blog” is created. This however can only be selected in the English version of the admin backend when creating a post. The solution in WPML was to create a translation of the category blog (in this case the slug is “blog-es”). It then shows up in the list of available categories when creating the post in the Spanish version of the backend.

    The confusion seems to be based around the various versions of the backend and the need to translate the categories as well as the texts.

    Thanks for your help.
