How can I make the homepage of my blog open as a single.php page? So showing the latest blogpost really as a single instead of using the index.php?

I want to use the Art Direction plugin and style per post, so the first page needs to be different according to the post’s style.

Try using a static front page with a custom query?

@esmi: only problem still seem to be comments. when I load a custom query in the page as static homepage, the comments of the page can only be shown, not those of the post. any ideas how to solve that?

Drop a copy of the file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.

That file isn’t a custom page template. And it doesn’t contain a custom query…

Here’s the one with the custom query:

Only difference is that I query for 1 post: query_posts( ‘posts_per_page=1’ );
