Landing Page to Loop

  • Hi!

    I hope I’m posting in the right section.
    My problem is that I want to create a static front page with my index.php. Now I just would like to link with an Enter button to another site with the loop of all my posts.

    I already built the whole Index so I only need help in linking it to my actual posts.

    Maybe anyone can help me with it.

    Thanks in advance

    Julia

    where are you stuck with?

    do you have the static front page?
    is that site running on WordPress or is it a static site?

    if the site is running on WordPress, review https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
    note: instead of customizing index.php, a better file would be front-page.php

    does the other site use WordPress as well?

    whaat themes are you using on the sites?

    Hi! Thank you for your answer!

    I have a static front page just with some php and an enter button.

    I want to link that page to a page with the loop to all my posts.
    Everything is running on wordpress. What would be the easiest way to link a button from the index page to the actual loop page?

    I want to make a little custom theme with it.

    the loop page would run on home.php or index.php – as you seem to have cutomized index.php for your static front page (correct me if I am wrong) you might need to create a home.php template with the default loop (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/The_Loop )

    then create a normal page in the dashboard (‘dashboard – pages – add new‘) and publish it (no need to add any content; this would not b e used anyway) – and set this new page to be the ‘posts page’ under ‘dashboard – settings -reading‘

    I want to make a little custom theme with it

    what files do you have currently in your theme?

    have you worked through https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Theme_Development ?

    Thank you!

    You are right with the index. I would like to have static content when the user hits my site and have a button to link to the loop page.

    I am using index.php footer.php header.php functions.php and my css files.

    I worked trough your links before.

    So it would be the best way to create home.php and static page like you described?

    imho, it would be best to create a front-page.php for the static front page; a home.php for the index loop, and a general index.php for all eventualities like showing single posts, archive pages, etc …
    and of course keep header.php, footer.php, functions.php …
