Where is the blog when using Static Front Page?

  • I just installed the semiologic Static Front Page plugin, which creates a home Page just fine. but where is the rest of the blog?! the navigation sidebar has the archives of posts, but using this plugin, can’t I just have a page that has the latest several posts…like in a normal (standard) WP installation?

    Thanks.

  • estjohn,

    That’s not quite the same problem I have. I want a static front page and then a normal blog as a link. In other words, I want the /archives/category/blog/ section to actually work like a blog (ie. to list an excerpt after each title) rather than just offer a list of titles from posts.

    @ jfowler:

    line 1043 of the sem-theme.php file, change:

    to:

    <?php the excerpt(); ?>

    @ Denis,
    Line 1043 appears to be:

    } // end sem_display_category(

    When I change it, it gives me an error at line 1043. If you could, give me the line before and the line after it so that I can make sure I am replacing the correct line. Thank you for all your help.

    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘<span class=”edit_link”> | ‘, ‘</span>’); ?>

    Change to:

    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘<span class=”edit_link”> | ‘, ‘</span>’); ?>
    <?php the_excerpt();?>

    Thanks Denis. It works great.

    Thanks Denis. It works great.

    wow, this is great — can’t wait to try it. thank you, Denis — very generous of you to explain all this.
