I am trying to set a static page as my front page on my wordpress site, as shown here.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel
I am using Yahoo hosting, and there is no section to set the "Front Page Displays" option in my Reading section under settings. I am very familiar with wordpress, but have never used a Yahoo hosted version of it before now.
Does Yahoo block this option for some reason?
(Here is a screenshot of what I see)

depends on what version of wordpress - yours must be quite old.

Nope. Just updated to Version 2.6.3.
This is the code I downloaded from my server.
(options-reading.php)
<?php
require_once('admin.php');
$title = __('Reading Settings');
$parent_file = 'options-general.php';
include('admin-header.php');
?>
<div class="wrap">
<h2><?php _e('Reading Settings') ?></h2>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="options.php">
<?php wp_nonce_field('update-options') ?>
<table class="form-table">
<?php if ( get_pages() ): ?>
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><?php _e('Front page displays')?></th>

<?php _e('Your latest posts'); ?>
</label>
</p>
<p><label>
<input name="show_on_front" type="radio" value="page" class="tog" <?php checked('page', get_option('show_on_front')); ?> />
<?php printf(__('A <a href="%s">static page</a> (select below)'), 'edit-pages.php'); ?>
</label>
</p>
<ul>

<?php include('./admin-footer.php'); ?>Looks like it's in there. Why is Yahoo blocking it?

Hi, I am using 2.8.4 of wordpress. I want to know why wordpress is throwing a warning message when i try to keep my 'Front Page display' (Settings/Reading)to show as a static page by keeping both Front page and Post page the same one ?
What is the reason for the warning message of "these pages should not be the same!" ?
However, If I want to keep like this anyway, is there any solution to it ?
Thanks
