The only way to do it is to use the blog view. The gallery view ignores sticky posts.

When editing a page, uncheck “Allow comments for this page”. If you don’t see the option, check the settings under “Screen Options” in the upper right corner.

Add this to functions.php:

function minimatica_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 25;
}

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'minimatica_excerpt_length' );

It’s built-in. If you created a custom menu, all you have to do is add the desired pages as second-level (drag them a bit to the right).

Open footer.php and move the element <nav id="access"> (the entire element up to </nav><!-- #access -->) to header.php.

You’ll still have to do some styling tweaks to make it look good.

Use the AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild plugin.

Either that or add some widgets to the sidebar.

The front page displays posts. Making it to display pages would be rather difficult, but not impossible if you have some coding knowledge.

What do the permalinks look like? Try resaving the permalink structure to flush the rules. Check to see if the .htaccess file gets rewritten.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but see the topic: Products instead of posts

I don’t exactly understand what you mean by “I’ve uploaded images as separate blog posts and published them.” but here is what you have to do:

When editing a post, in the right column click on “Set Featured Image”. Upload and image and then select “Use as Featured Image”. The image should appear on the front page for that post.

It doesn’t need to get striped out or destroyed. It simply isn’t executed. It is outputted in the HTML document after the PHP compiler is terminated.

You won’t be able to get that piece of code executed like that. You’ll need to use either a function like exec() or eval(), both of which are banned by the WordPress theme directory, or to use create_function() and place the code inside the function.

But as esmi said, it it way more efficient to hard code the PHP and execute it based on a retrieved option. This way you don’t get unexpected behaviour and you are sure nobody can insert evil code in there.

You also need to remove the reference to this function: <?php latest_comments(); ?>

Take a look also at Thematic and Platform, they’re worth it.

The problem lies here:

href='?page=sub-$tab&tab=$tab'

This would translate into something like this:

href='?page=sub-about&tab=about'

the page parameter should be the page slug declared in the add_submenu_page function or what function you have used to add the menu entry, which in this case is mt_sublevel_page3. Most probably the slug sub-about does not exist, that’s why it’s probably returning blank or 404 results.

This would be the correct implementation:

href='?page=mt_sublevel_page3&tab=$tab'

Remove this portion of code from header.php:
