   Hey all,

   I've setup a static page as my homepage. The project has a number of editors that can add, edit and delete pages but I want to make sure they can't delete the page chosen as the homepage. Is that possible?

   Thanks

   Untested, but maybe something like..
   

   add_action('delete_post','no_remove_front_page');
   function no_remove_front_page( $_the_post_id ) {
   	global $post;
   	if ( 'page' != $post->post_type)
   		return;
   	if ( get_option('page_on_front') == $_the_post_id )
   		// If the ID matches the front page ID, kill the delete post action.
   		wp_die('Cannot delete the front page, sorry!');
   	return;
   }

   Would need to be tested though..

   That worked perfectly, I also added in another test for a static posts page. Thanks again!

   add_action('trash_post','no_remove_req_page');
   function no_remove_req_page( $_the_post_id ) {
   global $post;
   if ( 'page' != $post->post_type)
   return;
   if ( get_option('page_on_front') == $_the_post_id )
   // If the ID matches the front page ID, kill the delete post action.
   wp_die('Cannot delete the front page, sorry!');
   elseif(get_option('page_for_posts') == $_the_post_id)
   wp_die('Cannot delete the news page, sorry!');
   return;
   }
