Static Front Page Plugin For WordPress

The static front page lets you easily stick a static page to the front page of a WordPress site, leaving the normal blog on a blog page.

Default Usage

Create a static page (Write / Page) called “Home”, and another called “Blog”.

That’s it, you’re done…

You can safely rename the two pages after you’ve created them: What really counts are the pages’ slugs, which needs to be “home” and “blog” respectively.

The plugin removes the home page from page lists, and changes its permalink to your blog’s url to avoid duplicate content.

Your site will resume to its default behavior if no home page is available.

Advanced Usage

Customizing the template

You can assign a template to the home page as you would for any other static page.

If you do not, the plugin will resume with your theme’s home.php template, if any.

When you are customizing other php files, note that the home page answers to is_home() rather than is_page().

The blog page searches for a blog.php file in your template folder.
