I created a custom home page for my Child WP Theme and included the tag shown here at the top of my custome page.
/*
Template Name: home-page
*/
>?
My top navigation consists of Home | About | Blog | and so on..
In the Reading Settings under the Dashboard I have the following settings:
Front page displays:
Front page: Home
Posts page: Blog
Everythin is working ok. When I click the home tab or nav, the custome home page displays, but the only problem I am runing into is when I click on the Blog page menu, the home page is displayed again. Is there any PHP coding that i need to use to get ahround this?
You have an error in the code that you posted. It should be:
/*
Template Name: home-page
*/
?>
What template is your blog page supposed to be using? What are the templates you have in your theme’s folder?
Thanks for your prompt reply. That error was a typo. The one in my custom template page is
/*
Template Name: home-page
*/
?>
“What template is your blog page supposed to be using? What are the templates you have in your theme’s folder?”
I am only using one template named home-page. This is the only template in my themes folder. The other files are style.css, funchtions.php and header.php which I am using in my child theme folder.
I may be a little confused by the semantics here…but Try renaming the home page to frontpage.php and creating a new template for the blog. This may help http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
Thanks dtrick. I just renamed my home page template to frontpage.php and everything worked.
