Wordpress Static Home Page
I’ve been asked about this a few times lately, I know there’s a plugin that does this, but this is the most simple way, by far.
Duplicate the page.php file of your theme and name it home.php
Right before the line that starts with “< ?php if (have_posts())…”,
add this line: “< ?php query_posts(’pagename=home’); ?>“
Create a page in the wordpress admin, and make sure that it’s post-slug is “home“
Done. Now the page called “home” will show as your homepage.
