    I upgraded to 2.5 and love the new dashboard, but when I tried to set things up to where I can have the option to have viewers directed to a static page right away, instead of the latest blog post, that option was gone. Am I just missing it? It used to be under the OPTIONS menu under the “READING” tab. I really need this option. If its not here, I’m gonna have to go back to 2.3.3

    Settings > Reading? Isn’t it there in your install?

    (the former Options are now under Settings)

    Hi, No, not under the settings options either. Not under settings>reading.

    If [cherisecarter.com/blog/] is the blog you said you upgraded to 2.5, no, it’s still in 2.3.3. I could be seriously wrong though.

    By the way, it IS under Settings > Reading like rudolf45 suggested.

    make sure to check that you still have the pages.

    I just had the same problem. I had to move the database location of a WP 2.3.3 website, and upgrade it to 2.5 . Ok, I created the database at the new location and imported it, edited the “home” and “siteurl” options directly there, and proceded with the settings. however the option to display a certain front page wasn’t there… I finally looked at the code, and noticed it checks if there are pages. knowing I did have pages, I went to ensure that, and discovered that I didn’t have my pages anymore

    what solved the problem was dropping the database entirely and re-making it as Collation, instead of what I had chosen previously, and then the import worked correctly. pages are there, and (surprise surprise) the “Front page displays” option is there as well.

    might be a long shot, but worth checking.
