I am having trouble displaying my blog posts on the static front page of the dazzling theme. To use the widget, I have to have Front page and not static page

currently I have it on the front page…not static, www.readtrywrite.com
I would like for my recent posts and image to show below the Blog Post

Hello there,

I hope you are doing well today.

Could you please provide a link to your website so that I can inspect it?

In order to use the widgets you need to use the static page option via Settings > Reading or you can the Latest posts option to dis play your posts.

Best Regards,
Support

Hi support

  1. I am aware of needing static page for the homepage widgets
  2. When I do static page, I want my blog posts to show on top. But it comes up blank.

Hey there,

  1. You can follow this tutorial on how to create a page template:
    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-custom-page-in-wordpress/
    The file you’ll need to edit is the sidebarhome.php

  2. In regards to resizing images, you can follow this tutorial on how to properly resize images.

<div id=“primary” class=“content-area col-sm-12 col-md-8”>
<main id=“main” class=“site-main” role=“main”>

		&lt;?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;

			&lt;?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?&gt;

			&lt;?php
				// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
				if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
					comments_template();
				endif;
			?&gt;

		&lt;?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?&gt;

I used this code

but now the widgets do not show!

<?php 
/*
	Template Name: Blog
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
 
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

				<?php
					// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
					if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
						comments_template();
					endif;
				?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>
