Designate A Static Front Page?

  • Well, I’m using 2012. Using ‘Customize’ I look at the ‘Static Front Page’ section. I choose ‘A Static Page’. All I get are two lines stating ‘Front Page’ and ‘Posts Page’ with nothing next to them. How am I supposed to choose a front page folks? Love the upgrade, but this is really frustrating. Help!

  • I assume, you need to have at least two published static pages to get dropdowns beside the ‘Front Page’ and ‘Posts Page’

    I just ran into this. Apparently WordPress won’t let you use the default page it created for anything. Which is really weird…

    I had to create two NEW pages and just delete that default page since it is useless…

    I am not sure if there is some scenario that is causing this, or if, for some reason, the dev team thought that made sense?

    That is what happened for me though. Once I created one new page, the drop downs showed up, and the new page was selectable. The default page never showed up for me…

    Also should note that after I used this “customize” button, the normal static settings started showing up under Settings > Reading. They didn’t show up before. I had to click on static front page in the theme customization before those settings showed up under Reading.

    I hope that is a bug, because it isn’t ideal…
