I'm using Wordpress and I want to have a static homepage with no columns (I'm using an Amazon astore). But I want the posts to have columns. I've done it before and I'm using the same theme, but I'm having trouble doing it again, it's either ALL columns or no columns. I'm using the Mandingo theme and it's worked before, but somehow it's not working now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
create a page in your theme folder named home.php (copy and paste the code from index.php into this) and then edit it as needed. home.php automatically replaces index.php as the blogs homepage
Great sounds like just what I need. But I'm going to have to try this after rebuilding the site again. I don't know how I did this, but the links in the navigation bar redirects to the "wrong" url, it's the right page but the URL is messed up. Anyway thanks if it works it's just what I need
double check your settings, more info on the homepage here http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
Actually a funny one.. not sure.. Maybe post it as a bid on Rent A Coder.. see sig.. might save you the hassle!
It works It's a bit slower having to create a page manually, but it's just what I wanted. I actually did it without having to create a home.php page before, I just wish I remebered how. Oh well this works. Thanks
