In reply to: WP Page as static home pageTried it-used that plug in first actually before Ryan’s plug in. The “index.php” link (where the blog sits) only refreshes the “home.php” page… it does not redirect to another area. How can I make sure it re-directs?

In reply to: WP Page as static home pageSorry didn’t find the “next page” link until now. Regretably none of the detailed solutions still worked for me. I am lost in what I can’t believe is not a default setting in WP. My blogging area is works like a current news area- I have no desire to send the users there first. What I DO desire is to have a static editable frontpage and a LINK to the blog along with the rest of the site. Nothing much more.
Denis slug “home” sounds ideal- but again- now the home.php is always the default- I can not link to the blog posts from there.

In reply to: WP Page as static home pagemxtrader-
I am having the same issue- You work around sounds a bit over the top for something that should be so simple. I was really disappointed to find no one replied with an answer to this question.What good is having a static homepage if you can not link to the blog- the whole reason WP is installed in the first place?
In my set up- I want to use PAGES to have a default frontpage message that will change from time to time but remain there for a while. I created a link in my menubar called “News” linking to the “index.php” file- in hopes that when clicked users can then see my up to date blog. Ideally… but when clicking the link it just refreshes the page.php file- so with this set up no one can even access the blog. If need be I am going to attempt Mxtrader’s work around but I am hoping to get advice on a cleaner solution.
