Front Page Categories Not Displaying

    Using YS Magazine 1.8.0, I’m trying to get the front page categories working properly. I’ve chosen 4 categories but don’t see any change in the home/front page screen. Reading the readme file I see that I need to create a static front page with an empty page using the FrontPage template. However, when I create the page, I don’t get template as a choosable attribute of the page. When I go ahead and create the page and then use QuickEdit, I do have a choice of template in a pulldown, but only have Default Template as the one choice.

    Do you have any idea what I’m missing?

    Hi, Rick,

    Yes, there was a problem with the template name. You can do the following if you don’t wish to wait for the next version:
    Open the FrontPage.php file in the theme directory and change the following code:

    /*
    * The front page template of YS Magazine.
    */

    with

    /*
    * Template Name: The front page template of YS Magazine.
    */

    This will display the template when you edit your page.

    Yavor – that worked like a charm. If anyone else is having issues with this, remember to read the readme.txt file. Make a new page with nothing in it, applying the template “The front page template of YS Magazine”. Then use customize to set a static front page usingf this new page.

    The theme makes very nice use of the featured image, so remember to set those for your posts!

    Thank you again for fixing my problems, Yavor!
