Index (home) page vs. Post pages

  • hello,
    I’m a bit confused on the templates. The index.php template appears to be used for any posting or list of postings. My problem is I want one layout for the home page, and a different layout for a single posting – how can I accomplish this?
    thanks
    Tom

  • To solve this problem, I use htaccess.
    I use permalinks
    /artikel/%postname% and the last line of my htaccess looks like
    RewriteRule ^artikel/([^/]+)/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /wp1.34/artikel.php?name=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
    so if I view a single page it uses my artikel.php
    HTH

    Ah, excellent suggestion! It seems to work great. However – now my archive links seem to be mucked up. They now look like this:
    /article/%
    and of course I get a server error. How did you get around that?
    Thanks
