I just got my blog created and am learning WP. I am trying to 'lock' a post from my former site to to be the home page of the new blog.
http://www.swindledforjesus.com is the old site
http://www.swindledforjesus.com/blog/ is the new blog.
Can anyone tell me how I can lock the current post for good?
thanks,
Dean
I am not entirely sure what do you mean by "locking"... I guess you want to keep it as a frontpage.
Here is what you should do:
Copy that whole post's content and keep it somewhere - a Notepad text file? - till the next step
Delete the post
Create 2 new Pages in Write > Page; call them Home and Posts
Paste the content saved above into the Home; leave Posts empty
go admin > Settings > Reading and select
Front page displays > frontpage = Home
posts page = Posts
On your example.com/blog address only the content of the Home should appear.
Note. Your blogposts would be visible only at example.com/blog/posts
