Add static content to the main homepage

  • I’m trying to figure out how to add editable static non-changing content to my main homepage, in addition to the list of recent posts.

    I know that I can go to Appearance > Editor > Main Index Template and write content right after the <div id=”content”> tag.

    But that is not easily editable. I want to be able to edit it like any other page that is created in wordpress.

    Basically, I want to make my homepage a wordpress page. Possible?

  • In the dashboard under settings–> Reading you can set Front Page to the created page of your choice.

    To put it another way: how do I add a list of all my posts to any generic page?

    (This is the same thing, since I know you can set the front page to be any other page)

    Just titles or posts?

    This should point you in the right direction

    Dude, call me stupid if you want, but I don’t understand any of these answers or the thread of that latest topic… but I have an answer and its how I did it. Create a page called blog (or whatever) and a page called home(even if there already is a page called home) go to settings >> reading, and change the front page to home and the post page to blog. Then just go and re-order your pages.

    Another prob I had after that, was that although the blog page is my post page, there was still a menu link called home that had no purpose, so in essance I had 2 home links on my menu, so I just went into the header.php and there was <li>Home</li> with some extra html attached that I just deleted. and… Bobs your uncle.. lol!!

    Hope this helps!
