Sorry for the late reply, I lost this post for a while ??
I used the information from this article:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
BTW, to answer my own problem on this I changed the line:
post_status= \”publish\
and added this after:
&& post_author= \”1″\
Where “1” is the id number of the author. It worked perfectly.
