Just turn your “index.php” into a template and assign that template to the homepage
Sorry, that did not make any sense to me. Are the procedures in any of the FAQs?
Thanks,
Vic.
You don’t need to do anything to a default WP install to make the home page and the post page the same. If you have tried to change the Front page display settings in in Admin/Settings/Reading, just go back and change “Front page displays” to “Your latest posts” then save your changes.
If I do that the link to my blog (posts page) becomes empty.
Here’s a link to the site:

That’s because your home page becomes your posts page. You can then get rid of “Blog” altogether. I think you need to decide what you want first – a static home page or a home page of posts.
The top of your index.php page will look something like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
if you change it to:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Whatever Template Name You Want to Give
*/
get_header(); ?>
it will then show up in the “Template” dropdown when you create/edit a page under “Attributes”. So if you go into your homepage … or whatever, you can select that template, and it will effectively turn it into the exact same page as your blog entries page. And index.php still work normally as it should, it’s just now available to be used in other pages as a template.
