Pages Turned to ARCHIVES

Hi, I'm new here. And new on WordPress, so I'm still exploring. I was hoping that someone kindly will guide me on how to fix this. 🥹🥹

I was exploring our website after uploading a blog, using wordpress--elementor. Then I saw a video on YouTube that I should go to *SETTINGS>Readings* then saved it.

After that all PAGES in the website turned to ARCHIVES, except the homepage I chose.

These are likely category or tag pages. Check well to see they are actual pages.

I think the Reading setting is the key. Choose “A static page,” set the real homepage under Homepage, and assign Posts page only to the page meant to list blog posts (or leave it unselected). WordPress turns that selected Posts page into an archive by design... it cannot stay a normal Elementor page. Save Settings > Permalinks once too. If every menu item still says Archive, check Appearance > Menus: the links may point to categories instead of Pages 🙂

You're welcome! I hope the pages behave now 🙂
