Recent blog posts on front page / Pagination

Hi,

for my personal blog http://www.mammadamen.com I use your theme named Ally, which I am very happy with.

When i change to this theme a couple of months ago the blog posts didn’t show up when I chose Resent post for the front page, so I set the front page to static and made a page called blog and chose the blog template for that page. It worked, my blogposts are at the front page. The problem is that the pagination does not work. It did until recently, but suddenly (maybe after upgrades?) when I click page 2, etc. the first page shows (the url is domain/page/2 etc though).

I think this has two solutions, I can put recent posts at the frontpage, and I assume the pagination will work. But, why does the recent posts don’t show? What can I do?

Or, I assume I can include some code to get the static front page to paginate correctly … ?

I prefer the first solution, I think. Can you help me?

Best regards Karianne
