Add an introduction to your blog page in WordPress

By default WordPress ignores any content you have added to your posts page and simply lists the available posts.

Add this code to your index.php file to include this content at the top of the page:-

<?php
  $posts_page_id = get_option('page_for_posts');
  $posts_page = get_post($posts_page_id);
  if( $posts_page->post_content ){
    echo wpautop( $posts_page->post_content );
  }
?>
