Help Wordpress is driving me nuts!

    I have never had problems with Wordpress like I do in the current version sorry to say.

    I cannot for the life of me get the HOME page to become an editable static page I have gone into the options set that up before I now have it undone cause it messes everything up.

    I know it isn't my template cause I already checked that too many times. I would also like to know how I get all of my posts to show up in one specific page either as hyperlinks or short descriptions.

    That is another problem that I am having no matter what I do I cannot get WP to summarize the posts.


    Can someone please help me? Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi there,

    Not sure about your home page issue, but to make a page with all your post on, create a template page and use the wordpress loop to output all your posts there.

    To summarize the posts use "the_excerpt()" in your theme instead of "the_content()"

    Hope this is some help!

    It easy once you know how. in the admin panel got to setting/reading then when it says front pages displays. select static and the page you want to be your home.

    if you wan to be fancy you can code a separate home page by creating a home.php file in the root directory.
