Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Homepage and pages aren't working with assigned template!I agree with you, that would be the point of using a CMS. I was going to hard code my home page but I get what you’re saying.
Also, I haven’t gotten to the point of building complete themes yet, I build child themes based on blank themes coded by somebody else just like you. But I hope to expand my curiosity to building full, functional, working themes.I think the big struggle I have so far in building these themes is understanding the WP page hierarchy but I’ll read the link you sent me earlier and get some other resources from youtube.
I only get what the main template do, but beyond that I am lost! For instance: pages use page.php, single posts use single.php a blog home page that displays a list of all post would use a default template or custom one. And index.php and home.php are interchangeable I guess.Basically, I get the core idea of how these WP templates work, but need to step back and dive into template hierarchy a little deeper.
Thanks a lot for your great response once again Peredur!

In reply to: Homepage and pages aren't working with assigned template!I can’t even understand the template hierarchy but I will look that up on Youtube.
Thanks a great deal for your comment though, that helps some.
Just one other question:
When you build WP themes, do you most of the times, use the default template for most pages, and only customize your home page with the following:<?php /* Template Name: Home Page; */ ?>?????
secondly, when you do use the above template for your home.php page, do you use static content? That is do you put most of your html in the actual home.php page in its folder saved on your local computer, OR do you put that html content in the wordpress box for pages?Thanks again Peredur!
