Hi i'm trying to create a custom page (custom-page.php) that contains some of my blog posts, but when I test the loop i'm not seeing any posts. Its only returning the name of my custom page template as the h2.
I have two posts already published but they are not showing up.
I have a front-page.php which users land on when they first come to my site and I have not changed any settings under the reading tab.
I've read over the Wordpress codex and can't find any solutions so far.
<?php
get_header();
?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<h1>BLOG INDEX PAGE
BLOG INDEX PAGE</h1>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php
get_footer();
?>
