I’m having this same issue – tried the previous options and it appears it must be an .htaccess problem also. What did you do to the .htaccess file to get it to work right?

Here’s my current .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php?q=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
php_flag register_globals off

Any suggestions?

I think I figured this one out…

In the “Mail” section, you need to put information in there – this is the output of the mail that will be sent to you, your client, whomever, etc..

In the “Message Body” section I originally had:

Message From:
[text* your-name]

Telephone Number
[text telephone-number]

Email Address
[email* your-email]

Subject:*
[text* project-objectives]

Message:*
[textarea* your-message]

All I ended up getting what just the code sent to me in an email….

So I changed the code to:

<p>Message From:<br />
    [your-name] </p>

<p>Telephone Number<br />
[telephone-number]</p>

<p>Email Address<br />
    [your-email] </p>

<p>Subject:*<br />
    [project-objectives] </p>

<p>Message:*<br />
    [your-message] </p>

Now it works fine for me.

Ahha – I solved my own problem and figured I’d follow up in case anyone else has the same issue…

The wp_list_pages was sorting by ID… not by page order.

ID refers to the chronological order that the pages were created…

Therefore, I modified the code to:

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

And now it works fine.

By the way, here’s the WP code for the page listing:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=ID'); ?>

User Error… never mind… :p

I found the answer: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Worked for me!

Hmmm – that didn’t work for me… I have a similar situation and I’m still getting newer posts that show up above the post that I want to make permanent.

I’ve tried the page-blocks and it’s a bit wonky – especially if you want to format blocks differently with your CSS (ie. different text, colors, backgrounds for left blocks vs. right blocks, etc.).

Also – I noticed that these blocks acted really weird and arbitrary. When you change one, it changes for EVERY page that the particular block appears on. When you hide one on one page – it hides them everywhere…

They seem more static than dynamic.

Any other suggestions/plugins/hacks??

OK – I am experiencing the same problem. So how exactly do you “change the file permissions”? Is that some setting on the server? Is it a setting within wordpress? Details please….Thanks!
