By default, Hestia is a one-page theme, meaning it displays a “Blog” section right on the homepage. However, if you want a dedicated page for your articles, the link format is completely up to how you configure it.
In WordPress, themes (like Hestia) don’t actually dictate the URL structure of your blog—WordPress handles that natively.
Here are the two things that control your Hestia blog link format:
1. The Page Slug (e.g., [domain.com/blog](https://domain.com/blog))
You can name your dedicated blog page whatever you like.
- If you create a page named “Blog”, your link will be
[domain.com/blog](https://domain.com/blog). - If you name it “News” or “Journal”, it will be
[domain.com/news](https://domain.com/news).
To set this up, you create a blank page, then go to Settings > Reading in your WordPress dashboard, and set your Posts page to that specific page.
2. The Individual Post Links (Permalinks)
The URL for individual articles (e.g., [domain.com/blog/my-first-post](https://domain.com/blog/my-first-post)) is controlled by your Permalink Settings(Settings > Permalinks). Common formats include:
- Post name (Recommended):
[domain.com/sample-post/](https://domain.com/sample-post/) - Custom Structure: If you explicitly want the word “blog” in front of every article URL, you can select “Custom Structure” and set it to
/blog/%postname%/. This will force the format[domain.com/blog/article-title](https://domain.com/blog/article-title).
The Short Answer: If you assign a specific page for your posts, it will most commonly look like [domain.com/blog](https://domain.com/blog).
