First question is why a static page if you want posts, but guess you could make both your front page and post page be the same Page in Administration > Settings > Writing .
Or use a Page template with a loop to display the posts.
I need a static home page so it’s relevant to what I want to optimize the blog for. I need the posts underneath because 50% of my visitors are landing on my home page from long tail keywords. If i just transform to the static home page without the posts then half of my visits will drop off.
Could you help me out with what specific loop code I would need to accomplish this? I have a feeling I will run into style problems as well, we will see.
Try the loop code in wp-content/themes/default/index.php.
Hi poizster,
I think what you are looking for is the wp adhesive plugin. I couldn’t find the original version but here is the new one:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-sticky/
From what I understand, this will make your homepage show a static page at the top and posts underneath (I haven’t tried it yet though).
Hope that helps.
