    Hi,

    Is there an easy way to replace the posts on the frontpage (the circle page) by pages. By a quick look, it looks like i have to rewrite the class used in content-home.php.

    I also could use only posts and put my page content in it and make a static header menu with links to those posts.

    But anyhow, what would you suggest? My goal is to use the circle page as my main menu.

    Grtz

    It’s not an easy tweak, as far as I know. I went into it a little bit here:

    Probably the second option you’ve suggested would be easiest, unless you want to modify the loop’s main query to pull back pages instead of posts.

    Thnx for your quick answer.. maybe it would be an idea to create this possibilty in the admin dashboard.. i will try coding pages at the home page in stead of posts..

    My second solution is the quickest, i know it, but i like to code..

    Thnx for your time and respond, nice clear theme by the way..

    If you make your postst sticky they are always up front!
    in combination with smart use of publication date you can arrange their positions.

    I know, but i will first try to rewrite the php code and use page id in stead of the post id. It are only a few lines of code.

    I just want a static frontpage and use the circles as the main menu.

    Found the solution by edit the loop in the index.php file and use Class Reference/WP Query : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query

    Simple solution:

    edit index.php file located in theme folder:

    <?php /* Display Pages */ ?>
    
    			<?php query_posts('post_type=page'); ?>
    
    			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    
    				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
    
    				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
    					<?php
    						/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
    						 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
    						 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
    						 */
    						get_template_part( 'content', 'home' );
    					?>
    
    				<?php endwhile; ?>

    Simply add:

    <?php query_posts('post_type=page'); ?>

    Displays the pages in stead of posts at the frontpage in the circles..

    Hi Rxbbx

    Can you clarify where you posted this code? I pasted it as is in the box but it said there was a syntax error.

    Any help would be appreciated and thank you for identifying a way to do this.

    Much appreciated.

    Great Theme Caroline!

    Hi Juanrose, if you create your own thread on your issue, the theme’s author and any other volunteer present are more likely to see it.

    Thanks Andrew!

    Where in the code do you add <?php query_posts(‘post_type=page’); ?>

    F*ck yeah! Rxbbx, that worked! I am one step closer…
    And BTW, Caroline, thanks so much for making such a lovely theme. It was almost exactly what I imagined my perfect website to be (minus a few minor tweaks). You are awesome.
