Thanks guys!
I have another question. I created the front page template as in the code below. But, within the page content it is displaying the comments link and posted on date etc. Comments are disabled and they don’t show on other pages, just the fron page that uses this template. Does the loop or something need editing?
<?php
/*
Template Name: Page - Front
*/
get_header();
?>
<div id="contentwrapper">
<div>
<p class="front-statement">
Unique text for the static front page.
</p>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php
/* Run the loop to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
?>
</div><!-- close content -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!-- close contentwrapper -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
