My current website @ <a href="http://victoriaklein.net/" rel="nofollow">http://victoriaklein.net/</a> is nothing but HTML - I simply want to create pages in Wordpress for each page that is already on the main website (About, Writing ... etc.). Then, my Wordpress-run site could function as my full website.</p> <p>Looks like the easiest way to do it might be <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page</a> ... but there's one problem. My Settings/Reading/ page doesn't have the option to select a static page ... UH OH! How did that happen!?</p> <p>I recently updated to 2.8.6 - does that have anything to do with it? I've never used the feature before, so I'm not sure how long it hasn't been there. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333649#post-1287674 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:15:40 +0000 pwwiebe 1287674@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Is it fair to say that no one modifies the xhtml/php 'pages' that get created by WP (not the dynamic ones, but the "static" pages) by changing the raw file itself? I was assuming that I'd be able to modify parts of the page the way I want, but was unsure how to proceed or where to find the info - clearly I need to do some reading and experimenting. </p> <p>Are you saying I could have a template for a specific page? And that would allow me to manage the complete "custom" xhtml on each page that I have now on individual html files, using the WP admin interface?</p> <p>Thanks for the guidance samboll - I'll look into the codex link you provided and come back if I have more questions.

I have a question related to integration of WP</p> <p>I started spending time with CSS and XHTML, and came across the Keep It Simple template from Styleshout.com. I started by using it to create a small personal site, mostly to learn and play around with the technology. I got that all working (but haven't finished with content yet). I also haven't setup a Domain name - I'm just hosting it myself on a Ubuntu LAMP machine. Works fine.</p> <p>Then I found WordPress, and realized that this Template had been ported to WP by Themelabs. I'm trying to integrate the two things - my psuedo static site using the CSS template, and the WordPress Blog. I have several pages that don't need to be dynamically generated, and the raw template has areas for things that I haven't figured out how to do in WP yet. I don't want my whole site to resemble a blogsite.</p> <p>I have seen that "static" Pages can be used in WP, but I'm not sure to what extent I can edit those using the Admin page, or how much I'll be able to change them manually. I have a Home page, an Interests page that leads to several sub pages, a Blog page which pulls up WP, and then a Photos page (I'd like to use Coppermine or Gallery 2) with sub-pages, and a full About page. However, doing it this way, I haven't been able to integrate the two menus - one from the static pages containing the options above, along with the WP menu (which only shows Home (WP home) and About (WP About)).</p> <p>Is this crazy? Should I be using WP Pages, or can I easily integrate these two things thsi way?</p> <p>I want to understand what the options are and, if possible, how I might basically accomplish either approach, so I can make decision based on all the info. So I'd appreciate a little explanation, rather than just "Use WP" responses.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help!<br /> Pwwiebe </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333389#post-1286611 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:11:37 +0000 samboll 1286611@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>if you use the static home option, you need to create an empty page titled "Blog" and assign that as your posts page - all posts will be accessible at /blog then </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333389#post-1286491 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:53:01 +0000 johnywhy 1286491@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>if i do NOT set my home page to a "static" page, then the "blog" page, containing ALL of my posts, is automatically created.

Duplicate my index.php template page to home.php, and added the "template name: Home" tag at the top.<br /> 2. Created 2 empty pages named Home ("Home" template) and News 'Default template).<br /> 3. Whent to Settings &gt; Reading and choose static pages :<br /> - FRONT PAGE : Home<br /> - POSTS PAGE : News</p> <p>So I thought I did everything as I was supposed to ... but I doesn't work. The posts page and the front page shows the same page : the home one.</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> Nicolas. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/331057#post-1278848 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:21:32 +0000 frioman 1278848@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I selected "Front Page displays as a Static Page", but my sidebar widgets are not visible?

The site is set up so the front page displays a static page, currently the "Home" page (home.php, template name "home"). I have numerous other pages set up as well as a blog (blog.php, template name "blog"). As long as I have my permalinks set to "default" (ugly) everything works fine. As soon as I give them ANY kind of custom structure I get nothing but 404s. </p> <p>I've read everything about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Making_Your_Blog_Appear_in_a_Non-Root_Folder">Making Your Blog Appear in a Non-Root Folder</a> as well as everything here on <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks">permalinks</a>. I've done some searching around as well but thus far am not coming up with anything helpful.</p> <p>I'm running WordPress 2.8.5, which I manually upgraded to from an old 2.0.4 installation. Not sure if that would cause issues or not but it's probably good to note. Currently I'm running all this locally but I should have a dev site set up soon, when I do I'll provide a link.</p> <p>This is my first go at developing a WordPress site so if I'm leaving out some important details I apologize, just let me know if anyone needs any more info on my situation or has some thoughts/ideas for solutions.
