It’s a workaround, but it works! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Does anyone know what directory home.php is in?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/) * Thread Starter [tabulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabulus/) * (@tabulus) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/#post-2581927) * So, I contacted the developers of the Weaver theme, and they were able to point me in the right direction. Apparently, with some custom themes, such as Weaver, you have to have the Settings>Reading>FrontPageDisplays option set to “static page” (which I did), AND, you must leave the pulldown next to the “Posts page” option at “select” (meaning you don’t specify in WP options that it’s a “posts” page… Weaver will handle this for you.) * On the Page edit options of the page you want to be your posts page, you then must select one of the Weaver “posts page” templates. * This gets me halfway there. It still uses the default template, but at least I can show/hide widget areas, so the page is at least presentable. If I can get an answer on how to get the Weaver “posts page” template to use something other than the default widget layout, I’ll post here. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Does anyone know what directory home.php is in?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/) * Thread Starter [tabulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabulus/) * (@tabulus) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/#post-2581861) * The website is [http://www.kerflip.com](http://www.kerflip.com) (still under construction). I’m using WordPress 3.3.1, with Weaver 2.2.6. I have the site set up to be a CMS, with static pages. I’ve set one of the pages, News, to be my blog/posts page. * I have all the other page templates set up, and I want the News page to have the same template (alt-sidebar right) that the Community page has. But you can see that it’s stuck on “default” with BOTH primary and secondary sidebars on the right. * For some reason, I am unable to change the template or any page options for the News page, and what is happening is that the default template with both primary and secondary areas are showing. It is STUCK this way. Even when I make changes and save them, although the changes appear to have been saved (meaning that after the edit page refreshes, the options I selected are still selected), when I view the actual page, it still displays the default template. * Thanks again for your help, Damon * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Does anyone know what directory home.php is in?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/) * Thread Starter [tabulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabulus/) * (@tabulus) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-anyone-know-what-directory-homephp-is-in/#post-2581816) * Well, deleting the file didn’t work… my News (posts) page just became an empty white page. I’ve restored the index.php file, so the page is back to its normal, incorrect appearance. * Any advice on how to get the posts page to accept a custom template?

I did look in wp-content/themes/etc… before and didn’t see the home.php file there. Wasn’t aware that some themes don’t have that file. I guess I can try renaming/deleting index.php. It seems that’s the next file that WP looks for. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: ["Posts" page template STUCK on default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-template-stuck-on-default/) * Thread Starter [tabulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabulus/) * (@tabulus) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-template-stuck-on-default/#post-2580642) * I am resolving this topic and starting a new one with a more direct question. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: ["Posts" page template STUCK on default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-template-stuck-on-default/) * Thread Starter [tabulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabulus/) * (@tabulus) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-template-stuck-on-default/#post-2580629) * DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT DIRECTORY HOME.PHP IS IN? (see below for why). – I’m running WP 3.3.1, and the version of Weaver I have is 2.2.6. * I found this thread from a few years ago, which claims to have a workaround: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-getting-wrong-custom-template?replies=7](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-page-getting-wrong-custom-template?replies=7) * The post in particular is by acurran, who says: * > I solved the problem on my site by removing the home.php template.

HAS WP’S FILE STRUCTURE CHANGED SINCE THIS POST (3 YEARS AGO)?

Or is it something so simple that you’re all waiting for me to figure it out on my own? 🙂 Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
