Problem: Missing “Your homepage displays” option under WordPress Settings >> Reading
Impact: The missing option is prohibiting you from selecting a custom or static homepage or your latest posts.
Reason – no public page available
That your site has no pages or no pages that are publicly visible. While I was doing some maintenance, I either deleted some public pages or made them private to finish drafting. Then, I forgot to make it public when the home page was ready for public.
Resolution steps: Ensure that you have a page that is publicly available
- Go to http://<your domain>/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
- Either create a new public page or click edit for one of the pages that is ready to be made public
- In the publish option, change visibility to public
- Click OK and then Update
- Then go to the settings and you will see the option to select a static page or your latest posts option.
