static home page issue…..

create a page “home” and put the static content in HTML editor through admin->add new page.

Looks like you have got it working now.

Well done! looks good.

kind regards
Tony

Yes I have done that. If I put the created home page to be the static page I get the line 17 error.

yes it works if I don’t want it as my front page…its when i try to make it my front page

goto settings->reading sections, change the following things

Front page displays : select A static page (select below)
Front page: Home
Posts page: Blog

Create a page Blog without content.

Create a file page-home.php and copy all the code from page.php file and put it in page-home.php file.

Check once.

I am having the same problem. I did what you said but got stuck on the “select static page” step. My “home” page does not appear on the list even though it does exist.
I am new at this….finding it extremely frustrating. Is there a “wordpress for dummies” book in existence?

First create a “Home” page through admin->pages->add new page. After that you will setup the settings. Try it.

Yes, thanks. I had done that but forgot to click on “publish”. Oooops.
I am also having a difficult time finding how to insert my “header banner” image.

@designimj

You will put the image in header.php file. Code would be

<img src="<?php bloginfo("template_directory"); ?>/images/your HEADER IMAGE NAME" title="<?php bloginfo("name"); ?>"/>

Remember one thing that you will put it appropriate position. Otherwise your site’s design will be messed up.:)

Good lack.

Thanks

Haha, yes thanks….I need lots of luck. ??

Thanks for all your help.
y.

always welcome.:)

Home page image: I have inserted the image with success however I can not get rid of the 1/4″ white border surrounding the image. It seems to be part of the template (landscape child theme). I have tried enlarging the image but it just gets cut off and the white border remains.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Ive created the blank blog page, that page works.
wwww.versatilebeats.net/blog

Ive created the page-home.php file in the directory for my theme. and my home page, but when I put home to static. it still gives me the line 17 function error about wp-blog-header.php which i can’t find this php file and can’t find it in the code for index.php

keep a backup of your theme folder. Then re-upload fresh WP in your root folder again.

Also can you give your index.php file?

versatilebeats: I’ve looked at your site, nice. It’s the kind of thing I am trying to build but having so much difficulty. What theme are you using? I think I may have to scrap mine, (2 months of work) and start over. ??
