This is working well except for this part:
The Posts Page can only resolve to display the Home or Index template. So we can remove the Front Page affordance. Side note: This change will emphasise #51421 a little more. It would be really nice to address that one. Side note 2: The one thing we miss with this change is a url to view the 'page' in the details panel. I'll see if I can add that back in a follow-up. |
Ah, no worries. Thanks. I'll update.
True, I noticed that. I would even say that #51421 should take priority over this one and others as I think we could make a stronger argument that it's a bug and therefore grease its path into 6.3. |

I agree #51421 should be prioritised, but I don't think it's a blocker since the issue exists elsewhere. Thanks for the updates to this PR, the Posts Page no longer redirects to the Front Page template when it is present ✅ However, it's also not redirecting to the Home or Index template, but to the page details: blog.mp4 |
|
By the way, we should also ensure that a static homepage redirects to the Front Page template, when it exists. If you'd like to handle that separately let me know and I'll open an issue. |
|
if I create a front page template, selecting the posts page shows the correct preview using the home template, but in the sidebar it shows the page name. Not Blog Home with the extra settings. |
|
@carolinan Whichever page is set to display latest posts in reading settings (IE the 'homepage' or the 'Posts page'), should reveal the Home / Index template when accessed via the Pages panel. Edit: I suppose if the reading settings specify that the 'homepage' displays 'latest posts', and the Front Page template exists, then yes it would probably be good to include some of the blog settings there. |
|
I am not sure I understand, I meant when:
Shouldn't that page sidebar still have the options for the number of posts to show, etc? That is still the page and template that are showing the posts. Just not as the first page of the site. |
|
The scenario you describe is the same as the one in the original issue: #52114 Displaying the page details isn't particularly useful because of its unique behavior. It's also strange when you engage edit mode because there is nothing in the page you can edit with blocks. So you have to swap to template editing manually which is unnecessarily convoluted. The conclusion was that in this scenario is makes most sense to just go directly to the appropriate template when the Posts page is selected in the Pages panel. |
|
I think we are talking about the same thing, that the PR is not ready yet because there is a scenario where it does not go to the template... |

Here are the scenarios as far as I can tell. I'm just jotting this down for my benefit :)
Hopefully the latest updates to the PR gets us closer 🤞🏻 |
|
There is one more scenario:
I have confirmed that when the posts page is selected under Appearance > Editor > Pages, the home template is shown. Windows 10, Chrome, WP 6.3 beta. 2 a -works |
|
Thanks for testing @carolinan! I'm unfortunately away tomorrow so feel free to push to this branch. |

1c isn't quite working right. When I click the Posts page in the Pages list, I see a hybrid panel which includes the page details and blog settings. It should just redirect to the Blog Home template as it does in 1b. The rest are working as expected. For 2c it would be really great to include the blog settings (posts per page & discussion) in the Front Page template. But if you want to handle that separately it's probably fine.
In my testing this is effectively the same as scenario 1, so as noted above doesn't work correctly when the Front Page template exists. Thank you all for your perseverance on this one. |
Oh, got it. Thanks for the clarification.
It should be easy to just flip the switch on this, but with the following caveat: the front page template could contain anything and won't necessarily have any query loops. And, if it does, they might be buried in which case we'd have to flatten the block tree to find them which could get expensive. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This all seems to be working now, thank you so much!

That's a fair point. Perhaps we tackle this separately, as a part of #52335.
Thanks for retesting and keeping me on the rails! 😄 |

I think this one slipped through the latest beta. Have marked it for RC 1 if folks agree. |
