    The static homepage has mysteriously disappeared. I have tried several themes and they each have the same problem. When I go to the dashboard and Pages/Edit – it doesn’t show a homepage. When I create on, it becomes home-2. Other pages indicate there is a home page
    – — Recipes Page | Parent Page: Home

    I would be so grateful if anyone could help me fix this! http://www.tsdimarco.com

    Do you have any posts? Do you want to set up a static home page?

    I want a static home page – when I goto the Settings/Reading menu, it doesn’t give me an option to select static or posts:

    Reading Settings
    Blog pages show at most posts
    Syndication feeds show the most recent posts

    Immediately below the title on that page, you should have a “Front page displays” sub-section on a self-hosted WP blog. Or is this a wordpress.com site?

    Okay – I still have an issue. If you go to http://www.tsdimarco.com, the homepage comes up with an error:

    “Not Found, Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.” and a search box.

    However, if you click on the home tab (top nav) – it takes you to the homepage I created and made my static page.

    Another problem is when I look at admin/appearance/widgets – there are no widgets in the sidebar. But when you go to the website, it shows search, catagories, archives, links on the sidebar.

    I really screwed something up and have no idea how to fix it. Thank you for your help.

    Your home page currently appears to be set to http://tsdimarco.com/home-3. What site url is being used in Ad,in/Settings/General?

    As to your sidebar, what you’re seeing is the sidebar’s default content which will (probably) disappear as soon as you start adding widgets via Ad,in/Appearance/Widgets.

    Setting/General:
    WordPress address (URL) http://tsdimarco.com
    Blog address (URL) http://tsdimarco.com

    I went back to settings/reading and saw after “static” there is a drop down box I selected “home” to be the front page. Thank you – that seemed to fix it.

    You were right about the sidebar widgets too! Thank you, I’m so grateful!! Now if I can remember how to the page name from displaying at the top – I’m good to go. Thank you!!
