# static page template

 * hello WordPress community!
 * I’m trying to create a static home page for my website but I am having a little
   bit of trouble. Basically the only things I want the same between my static front
   page and the rest of my site is the header/footer, everything in between will
   be very different.
 * I’m trying to create a page template to do this, but wordpress seems to be generating
   my page template within the #content div, used to display content in the rest
   of the site. I don’t want this #content div (or the sidebar for that matter) 
   to be on my static front page at all.
 * Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 * the #content div is often started in the header.php template;
    however, without
   more information, it is difficult to comment on your problem:
 * – link to your site?
    – code of your template? (please use the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/))
 * you might need to create a special header template (and footer template) to overcome
   your problem.

   this. You saved me hours of ripping my hair out 🙂
