building a one page WordPress site WordPress
- REFUNDED
What is the best way to build a one page wordpress site? I am trying to make one but am running into trouble everywhere.
This is the site mostly coded into wordpress

check out the blog and you can see what issues I am having. I have to reload the page to get the content from single.php. I can't figure out how to get it without the refresh. I was thinking that I could delete single.php and page.php and the index.php would handle all the posts but I don't see how to get the full content from single.php. I have a custom walker that runs the nav that ads #! to the navigation. I would like to get rid of that. Is there a filter that can grab the nav after the button is clicked so that I can say that if it is a single page, do nothing but if it is home add in the #!

Well, I suggest looking in your blog's template for
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
and change it to
<?php the_content(); ?>;

that isn't going to work in this situation. This isn't an issue between the excerpt or content

Hi,
You can change your index.php to make that it only load one page defined in dashboard, something like this:
$your_query = new WP_Query( 'pagename=about' );
// "loop" through query (even though it's just one page)
while ( $your_query->have_posts() ) : $your_query->the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
// reset post data (important!)
wp_reset_postdata();

I understand your idea here but this isn't the approach I am looking for. I am not trying to load one page into the homepage. I am trying to load every page into the homepage. So I created a loop that uses get_pages() and tests for meta_value of wp_page_templates and gets those pages. That takes care of getting all the page templates. Now I am trying to get the content of a single page. Like when you click on the_permalink() to get the full article of a blog post. Right now it resfreshes the site to get the page but because of my nav walker, this is causing problems.

Hello,
if I am right, the best solution for you would be to "ajaxify" your theme. Check [[LINK href="http://www.deluxeblogtips.com/2010/05/how-to-ajaxify-wordpress-theme.html"]]this tutorial[[/LINK]] or try [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajaxify-wordpress-site/"]]this plugin[[/LINK]].
That should allow you to load pages/posts without refreshing whole page, but only the part you want.

I have tried ajax and found that when the content is loaded with ajax, my scrollbar won't work. I am trying to find a non ajax solution to this problem.
