Home page shows blog and home text

Forgot the versions:

WP = 4.5.2
OneColumn = 4.6

I went back to older versions and made a new database:
WP = 4.4.1
OneColumn = 3.9

I have used these versions together before, but on that site I only had a static home page without a blog page. These versions worked great on it.

I tried the same thing in this new site, setting only a static home page, but I still got the blog page on top of home and the home page at the bottom.

Then I added the Twenty Eleven theme, and it did work with only a static home page. Added a Blog page and made that setting, and that worked also, along with the static home page.

Now I’m wondering if it’s because I’m using MySQL 5, rather than 4.

Tried a new database, version 4. That didn’t work either. Nothing’s working.

Hi,

I notice your are not using OneColumn theme (anymore).

My themes fully support the static home and blog page. When this is not set, the homepage will always display posts by default.

So if you switched themes I’m closing this topic, if you agree.

Just posted a reply, but it has disappeared. Sorry if this one duplicates it.

I did switch to another theme because I needed to get the website underway and wasn’t sure when I would hear back from you. I really wanted to use your theme because I really liked it when I built the last site where it worked perfectly. The last site did not have a blog page though.

As I outlined above, the home page had the blog sidebar on the top, then a gray line, followed by the home page text below. I finally tried removing the get sidebar call in page.php and index.php but it still showed the same way. All other pages were correct.

I switched to several other themes, and they showed home and the blog as they are supposed to be. I don’t know what was happening, but it was not correct.

Hi,

Unfortunately you’ve switched themes. But I understand it.

I have set u a temporary test site. Created a static homepage and a static blog page.

Could you please let me know what’s wrong with this? Because I’m almost sure everything works just fine.

Guido

Your sample pages look great! My home page was not like yours. I dunno what was causing it, but I will use your theme again ’cause it is truly much leaner than others, but yet has the main functions set up. I really like the OneColumn theme!!

Hi,

I kind of like your current website layout as well, custom template I guess?

Or are you gonna use my theme for another domain/website?

Guido

Thanks! Yes, all of my sites are custom built. I will definitely use your theme again, because I like it the best of all. The design, however, will be mine.
