Reading settings for any front page

Every brand decides how its site opens and where its blog lives. Reading settings hold those choices, so they change in the dashboard instead of in code.

The four settings

• Home page shows: a static page, or your latest posts.
• Front page: the page served at the root when the home page is static.
• Posts page: the page that lists the blog, for example Blog at /blog.
• Posts per page: 1 to 100, 25 by default.

The front page and the posts page point at a translation group, not one entry, so every language follows the same choice and each language keeps its own path.

What the site does with them

• The posts page shows its own blocks, such as a header, followed by the list of posts.
• Numbered pages work out of the box: /blog/page/2, /blog/page/3 and so on, with the right canonical and previous and next links.
• Category and tag archives borrow the posts page layout.
• The sitemap shows the posts page as updated whenever a new post goes live.

This blog is an example

On atlascms.id the front page is a static page, the posts page is Blog, and each page lists nine posts as a three by three grid. Changing any of that is one setting away.
