   Hello Everyone,

   Let me first just say I love, love WordPress. I am very new to wordpress and am very impressed with it. But being new, well I think I broke something. I have a site I am using wordpress as a cms. So I created a page i called home and created a home template file (home.php) and them template has some extra stuff like a image slider and works great. Well it did until I went to the setting and changed the read to static page and home to my page that I added. Now it will not show the format and layout in the template. I have checked to make sure that the page has the template set to home, but still nothing. if I change the static home page to another page and then if I navigate to the page and it shows the correct layout.

   So I come to sit at the knee of you wordpress guru.

   Thanks,

   Matt

   Here is the home.php template

   <?php
   /**
   Template Name:Home Template
    */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="divSlideShow">
       <?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>
   </div>
   
   <div id="primary">
   	<div id="content" role="main">
           <?php the_post(); ?>
           <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="clsPageContent">
   	        <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   	            <?php the_content(); ?>
   		        <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
           </div>
       </div><!-- #content -->
                   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   </div><!-- #primary -->
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   So from what I can figure out is that front-page.php is overriding my template page. So I replaced the content of front-page with the content of my template and it worked. Not sure if this is the right answer or not.
