Aha! Renaming it “front-pageb.php” did the trick.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated =)

Yeah, the codes are all from my child theme.

Child theme templates:
index.php
content.php (copied to child theme after starting this thread)
front-page.php
header.php
footer.php
page-template.php
single.php
style.css
rtl.css

Plugins:
Custom CSS Manager
Jetpack
One-Click Child Theme
Site Creator Ultimate
Akismet (inactive)
Hello Dolly (inactive)

Any ideas?

Okay, I’ve looked up my content.php, and found this section:

<?php else : ?>
			<h1 class="entry-title">
				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentytwelve' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			</h1>

I’ve replaced that with the code which Alchymyth gave me, but it doesn’t seem to have done anything, even when I refresh…

Ah, that worked. Thanks!

I’ve just removed and reinstalled WordPress from a clean download, and this is still happening.

Here are two things I should mention in case it helps:

– Both times, unzipping the downloaded folder resulted in a number of duplicated files: for example I ended up with five index.php files. Originally, I kept all of them on upload under different names. On the reinstall I overwrote the duplicates.

– When I first installed WordPress, after logging in I was taken to a blank page. I followed the instructions here:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-adminphp-requires-non-existent-file?replies=5

…and solved the problem. I did the same again on the reinstall.

Could either of these have affected the dashboard issue?

EDIT: And something’s clearly gone wrong with the reinstall as the site isn’t loading anymore. I’ll have to look into that.

Okay, I getcha.

I’ve made that change, but the menu still isn’t working. For what it’s worth, this is what wp_capabilities said before I edited it:

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

Yeah, I’m logged in with the admin account.
