Description

Description

In the app today, if I wanted to create a new posts page I need to do the following steps:

  1. Create a page (select template or blank etc)
  2. Set it as Posts Page in the pages list (the option is a bit hidden)

Since these pages have to be blank it would be nice to include a prompt in Site Settings > Homepage settings asking if they want to create a new posts page.

Bonus points if we included a flow that leads the users to the menu settings so they could add the new page to their menu.

Research direction

Start in Site Settings > Homepage settings and trace the existing flow for creating a posts page. Review the pages list and menu settings flows; the work is done when users can create a blank posts page from Homepage settings and, if implemented, continue to add it to a menu.
