I did that. I’ve done a good amount of wordpress builds, hence my confusion here. This is the first time that has been ignored. But it’s showing the page title like it’s a page with no name. So instead of getting My Blog as the page title, I get | My Blog. Weird.
Got it. Not sure what I did, some wires must have been crossed somewhere along the line. I set the home page back to recent posts. Went to the page I want as the homepage, and re-saved it. Then went back and reset it the home page to that static page, and now it appears I’m good. Bug? Not sure how to reproduce it. Terrible luck I guess.
Scratch that. Still not working. I had refreshed the actual page I was viewing, not the home page.
Do you want your front page to be a static page or page of posts?
I would like a static page. I think that something in the theme that I’m using is overriding the template page.php and forcing the home page to user index.php. I’m not sure though. It’s kind of strange. I absolutely have the front page set to static page in the reading section of settings. And from the looks of the page title it’s trying to be on a page, but it’s showing index.php as the template and it’s showing recent posts.
I always use a static page, this is how I set it up and change when necessary.
Settings -> Reading -> Front page display (click “A static Page”) – Select page name from “Front Page:”
Always works.

Does the them include a home.php template file?
No. There isn’t a home.php. I added some debug text to index.php, it’s definitely loading that template. The really strange thing I’m noticing is the page meta title. If I have the reading setting set to display recent posts, the meta title is “My Site”. If I have it set to a static page, it shows the same content, but the meta title is ” | My Site”. That has been set by the all in one seo pack plugin. I can modify the page url structure in the plugin settings and it effects the home page. So it looks like it’s trying to load the page, but the template is being switched back to index.php somewhere along the line. If I switch themes it shows the appropriate static page. It’s most certainly in the theme, I just don’t know what I should be looking for so that I can fix it.
All In One SEO complicates things a little but have a look in header.php and see what’s being used to create the <title> in the <head></head> section, Ideally it should be something like bloginfo('name');wp_title('|',true,'left');
I can type whatever I want there, and it will stay the same. The title is being generated by all in one seo, I get that. But the plugin can’t be the problem, because switching themes fixes it. It’s this theme specifically, somehow overriding the home page and forcing index.php. I don’t know how it would do that or what to look for it.
Got it. The theme used something called theme-toolkit. Don’t know what it is or how it was doing it, but I eliminated it and I’m in business. Thanks.
