Help using a static homepage with custom elegant themes template WordPress
- REFUNDED
Hey,
I have a modified elegant themes theme on my homepage at http://www.itcallout.com.au
I am trying to make this page the new static homepage;
http://www.itcallout.com.au/computer-repairs-perth/
And there are options within elegant themes 'thecorporation' theme that i am using to set a static homepage instead of the slider, but when I set that page above it doesnt show it at all and just shows my header and footer. (This is setting the static homepage within the theme options)
I've tried the wordpress function under 'reading' in the settings of wordpress to set the static homepage but that makes no difference.
I think the solution lies in editing the code, ill paste some of it below
I understand because of my custom theme this might not be possible to fix without logging into my wordpress installation so thats a possibility if someone wants to help..
here is my home.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (get_option('thecorporation_services') == 'on') { ?>
<div id="services" class="clearfix">
<div class="one-third">
<?php query_posts('page_id=' . get_pageId(html_entity_decode(get_option('thecorporation_service_1')))); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('includes/service_content'); ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div> <!-- end .one-third -->
<div class="one-third">
<?php query_posts('page_id=' . get_pageId(html_entity_decode(get_option('thecorporation_service_2')))); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('includes/service_content'); ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div> <!-- end .one-third -->
<div class="one-third">
<?php query_posts('page_id=' . get_pageId(html_entity_decode(get_option('thecorporation_service_3')))); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

</div> <!-- end .one-third -->
</div> <!-- end #services -->
<?php }; ?>
<?php get_template_part('includes/default'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
here is my default.php;
<?php $fullWidthPage = is_page_template('page-full.php'); ?>

<?php if (is_page()) { //if static homepage
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
get_template_part('includes/homepage_content');
endwhile; endif;
} else {
if (get_option('thecorporation_blog_style') == 'on') get_template_part( 'includes/blogstyle_home');
else {
query_posts('page_id=' . get_pageId(html_entity_decode(get_option('thecorporation_home_page_1'))) ); while (have_posts()) : the_post();

i am sorry for my answer before.
try this:
go to theme option:
- click General settings
- click Homepage tab, then <strong>disable</strong> "Display Services" and "Display Sidebar Widgets on Homepage" options
- click Featured Slider tab, then <strong>disable</strong> "Display Featured Slider" and "Duplicate Featured Articles" options
then go to Reading Setting:
click a static page as Front page display, then select the page (computer-repairs-perth)
note: you can enable/ disable "Use pages" options under Featured Slider tab, then check the difference. :)
