Static Home Page not Displaying

    Hello

    I am hitting an issue with the the option to display a static home page. Hope this description is not too confusing:

    When enabling the use of a static home page under ‘reading options’ all appears to work perfectly *except* that the static home page does not appear at http://mydomain.com as I woudl expect – instead the home page is still my blog page.

    I have setup a page for displaying posts (called Blog) and so now have both ‘Home’ and ‘Blog’ in my menu of pages. ‘Home’ redirects to http://mydomain.com, ‘Blog’ redirects to http://mydomain.com/blog – but both show the blog content. However, if I got to ‘http://mydomain.com/welcome’ (where welcome is the page slug of the page I want to be the static home page) then I see that page just fine

    So for some reason http://mydomain.com is not being redirected to show the http://mydomain.com/welcome content as it should.

    Anyone any ideas? I’ve found one other report on this forum with identical symptoms, but that’s all. This can be seen here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/160880 – unfortunately the workaround mentioned causes issues with sticky posts.

    I’m using WordPress 2.7 and would be grateful for any suggestions

    I believe I had the same problem and it was caused by a plugin, qtranslate. Look at their forum to solve it if this is in fact the problem.

    The problem has been corrected and was in fact caused by a plugin – WordPress Download Manager

    I contacted the author of the plugin and he was able to make a fix virtually immediately – it seems the real issue was somehow related to my PHP setup and that in turn caused the plugin to interfere with the static home page functionality.

    I’m having the same problems. I only have two plugins: Akismet & SEO Smart links. Tried deactivating them both but it didn’t fix it. Any other ideas?
