Static Home page and recent blog posts

Hi! You can use a static home page with a Recent Posts sidebar widget to do this.

You could also create a Sticky Post with your static content that would appear at the top of the home page, then recent posts would follow beneath.

You could create a custom page template to display your posts the way you want, but that gets to programming and is not something I can explain easily.

Pachyderm should work with most up-to-date, well-coded plugins — it’s a fairly basic theme as far as programming goes.

Hope this helps!

Hi!

It’s not an easy fix if you’re not comfortable with code, but you can create a child theme to overwrite Pachyderm’s content.php, then within your child theme’s content.php, add an if/then statement to check for sticky posts with is_sticky(), and output the_content() instead of the_excerpt() for those posts.
