The Front Page is the only thing you can see on my site and I did not create it

  • The only changes that you can see on my site on the front end are My Header, My Footer, and the Front Page Template which I did not choose. I have followed the suggestions and gone to Settings>Reading> and changed the settings to Static Page and Home but this did not do anything, I even changed how the pages were published. The only way I can find the “Front Page Template” is go into templates or click view site.

    My Navigation menu is not showing up on the “Front Page” and it does not seem to matter what I do to the other pages that I have tried to design. They do not show up at all. When I save edits and hit preview it takes me back to the “Front Page”. I have tried assigning that template to a page and it is not shown as an option.

    I have been unable to actually build a website because the only thing that seems to exist on the front end is the “Front Page” and nothing I do matters. Sorry, I have spent so many hours on this and I know that it is probably something so simple it is going to blow my mind but I have not found a forum thread that has solved the Saga of an over Zealous Front Page! Not sure if you will be able to use the link as I am using a staging site and have things set to private because I do not want to mess up the one page website that I have in place (also using a Front Page and not affected by other pages or edits that I make to the website).

    Someone please tell me what I am missing before I go find a job as a janitor!

    As your site is not public, no one here can see it.

    Unfortunately, we need to see the problem before we can suggest any solution. And a screenshot won’t do it — we need to see the live page and possibly check the code behind it to understand what’s going on.

    Hello George Appiah,

    Thank you for responding, I ended up going back through and deleting all of the themes, plugins, and media that I had added to the WordPress account and then starting fresh on a new theme.

    It seems that something I have done has reset that website so that my Home Page and Front Page are one in the same now and I am seeing the edits that I am making so far.

    I am however having the same issue with the following site which is both live and public. It is only a one page website which is why I never pursued the issue. I edited the Front Page and did not worry about it being disconnected from any of my actual pages. Although I realize that this is not an affective fix, it served me on this which was only ever meant to be temporary. Any explanations that you can give me as to what I am doing wrong to break the connection between my Home Page and Front Page would be really appreciated.

    Thank you!!
