The PHP on that server was version 5.1.6 and therefore only supported WordPress up to version 3.0.2. As soon as I migrated over to the correct testing server with newer PHP and WP, it worked just fine. The WordPress Reading setting doesn't have to be changed to a static page. The Frontpage setting for BroadScope works fine all by itself.</p> <p>And Chris Beard deserves a special thank you for going above and beyond to try and help me out. Thanks, Chris. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/setting-home-page-problem#post-33993 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:24:11 +0000 Chris Beard 33993@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I replied to your mail :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/setting-home-page-problem#post-33911 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:49:54 +0000 ptvguy 33911@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I've set up the page I want to use as the home page. (<a href="http://www.test.soptv.org/southern-oregon-public-television-soptv/" rel="nofollow">http://www.test.soptv.org/southern-oregon-public-television-soptv/</a>) I've set that as the front page under frontpage settings. Still, when I go to the root directory (<a href="http://www.test.soptv.org/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.test.soptv.org/)</a>, I get nothing. If I go to the WordPress settings under Reading and set any page at all as the static home page--including the one I want--the root directory turns into the blog page. It's very annoying.</p> <p>If no one else has any suggestions and I can't work it our on my own, then I may take you up on your very generous offer. Thanks. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/setting-home-page-problem#post-33830 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 06:01:09 +0000 Chris Beard 33830@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm not sure what's going on but I'll just tell you how I achieve the wanted effect. I create a page and fill it with content, then I apply the wanted page template to it (at the right) - after which I publish the page. Then, I go into the theme options and set is as my frontpage.</p> <p>If this doesn't work for you, maybe you can create me an admin account and send me the info to <a href="mailto:support@wehavewebfun.com">support@wehavewebfun.com</a> and I'll look into it - be sure to provide enough information. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/setting-home-page-problem#post-33794 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:33:34 +0000 ptvguy 33794@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm sure this has been answered somewhere here before, but my search didn't find a solution that has worked for my site. I've created a page that I want to use as the home page, but setting it as the front page under the BroadScope theme options just produces a page with a header and main nav and a large blank area below that. Using the WordPress reading settings to set any page as the static home page makes it use the blog page no matter what. Any ideas? </p>
