that filosofo page is dragging
and the options/reading didn’t help
I want a Home page button
but I am a mother not a coder
so you must make it very clear
like Matt does
How do I create a Home Page?
Thank you for your kindness.
In current versions of WordPress (2.3.x) you no longer need a plugin to set a “static” Page as your home page. Just look at the Front Page settings under Options > Reading. As for your “didn’t help” we would need more information to help figure out why.
Exactly what am I supposed to
on the Options/Reading/FrontPage in order to create a Home page? It’s not exactly clear what I’m to DO there.
The only thing I saw to DO was update options.
Do I need a category that says Home?
First, you create a Page (Write > Write Page) that you want as your home page.
Next, you have two options (under Options > Reading) for what goes on the home page: latest posts, or a Page of your choosing.
To set a Page, you select the ‘A static page’ radio button, then the Page you want under the ‘Front page’ drop-down list.
Optionally, you can (create and) select a Page that will function as your top level posts page. But this is not a requirement.
Finally, you click the Update Options button to make your changes.
Nice try, Kafka, but it didn’t work. Here’s why.
I create a page; I call it Home. Home doesn’t show up with my other pages nor does it show up on the dropdown under Options/Reading/FrontPage/Select.
Which shouldn’t matter if I want my latest post to always be my front page, which I do, if front page is the same thing as home. Is it?
Update options then leads to nothing. I need a Home page!!
Kafka is not my name. Feel free to call me Kaf.
I can’t tell you why you are not seeing your ‘Home’ Page under Options > Reading. The only Pages which should not appear there are any which you have not ‘published’ yet.
A web site’s home page is just the top level or front page to it. On a blog site this is typically just the latest posts. It can be anything, though. I assumed you wanted a ‘static’ WordPress Page set for your home page because that is the topic of this thread.
