Static Front Page

  • I wanted to have a static front page and no blog. I tried to create a frontpage.php file and uploaded with Filezilla (FTP) to create a new template page. I am however unable to see the frontpage.php file in my wordpress editor. I find the steps in creating a page template by wordpress to not be clear. Am i missing something???

    Instead can I just take the side bar off the current home page instead (set up as a ‘home’ post page) and remove the links ‘uncategorized’ & ‘add a comment’. Any ideas appreciated!

  • if you followed this

    and uploaded the frontpage.php to the same place as your other theme files – single.php, page.php, etc.
    then you will want to go to
    admin – Pages – Add New
    on the right sidebar under “Attributes” you should be able to select your template from the middle drop down box
    then you can edit it in the editor – save it – assign it as static front page in
    admin – settings – reading
