Change “Home” page in your wordpress site to your own created page

by Kimi on February 13, 2010

Have you noticed that  when you type your URL in the web browser,  your front page would be your posts by default? In other words, you want to change wordpress home page as a static one. Mostly because you don’t want your site appears as a blog.

In the video, we will change the settings from default settings to choosing static page in Admin page. However if it won’t help, you might want to change the order of the page ID in your navigation code.

See this video on how to do this.
Backing up or copying your file is a wise idea before we change anything!

Using wordpress 3.0 Twenty Ten theme? if yes, you may want to check this video, it’s a lot easier to do this with Twenty Ten.

Here you have added Home as a page and changed the settings in admin. This is quite okay. but then whats the need of a posts page that you have added further??? This remains my doubt.

The post page is to hold our posts/Articles. Do you mean you don’t want to display your posts at all?

Sorry, nothing comes to see on this video.
I mean, I do not want my posts to be posted only in one site, one
after the other, I want to have them in different sites- subsites
I have created in my blog.
And I mean also that the front page stays the same post
with something like greetings to the visitors.
