Without a link to the site to see what you are talking about, pretty hard to be of much help.
Well, since it’s his site, I need to talk to him before I start posting links on forums. But when you look at the default home page style for the Amdhas theme, there’s a welcome message area on the top left, a heading with a site description and button on the top right, and three widget home areas underneath. Then when you look at a subpage, there is just the page title with some text area and no widget areas underneath. I need his home page to look like that default style, but it doesn’t, it looks like the subpage style. It also says Home > Home at the top, like it would say Home > Parent Page or something, so I think it’s not really being recognized as the home page, I just can’t figure out why.
I’m not familiar with this theme but just installed it on a test site.
What’s selected for the home page under Settings > Reading?
IS there any caching on the site? Have you cleared your browser cache?
The selected home page is “Home,” the one I want to display that default style. I hadn’t tried clearing my cache, but I just did and it’s no different.
And the slug for my home page is home-2, and I can’t change it to just say home, so maybe that’s a clue?
That usually means there is another page by the same name in the trash – try emptying the trash.
Yeah, I just did that. No change.
I’m not sure I can be of more help without seeing the site.
This is the site: http://italkrealestate.com/
Notice how it looks just like the format of the other pages. And if you preview the Amdhas theme here, http://wordpress.org/themes/amdhas, that’s what it should look like.
I just fooled around with it a bit more and it looks like you need to select “latest posts” under the Settings > Reading to get the default home page option.
Okay…that’s good, but is that going to cause any functional issues since it won’t be a static page? He’s not intending this to be a blog, the home page content isn’t supposed to change.
It is a static page – it’s just the way that theme is set up. That page should not change unless it’s changed under the theme options.
It looks like I would just have to delete my home page entirely, because that page isn’t pulling from the page I made titled “Home” anymore.
Okay, so it’s just a quirk with this theme?
Yes, looks like that’s how the theme works – but you can add that content to the home page options.
