Homepage problems

[jaycee]

Hi

Firstly thanks guys - this is a wonderful feature, it adds real value to my wordpress blog.


My problem is with the homepage - I'm not good with these and hopefully the solution is very simple,but let me explain my process to see if you can kindly help.

I have created a page called "I'm making it my business" and this is the page that I want to be my homepage - and the only page that I want the gallery to appear on.

This is the outcome I would like to see:

Homepage = "I'm making it my business" including galldery taking you to featured blog posts
About Me = its own content - without gallery
Contact Me = its own content - without gallery
I don't have a separate page just displaying posts, should I have?

In general writing settings - I have tried various ways to make this work exactly as I want it.
By putting my dedicated homepage as a 'static page' I do get the gallery and the right content on the page but, at the moment the gallery now appears on all my pages and the static page shows up on my other two pages too, so you don't get to view my about me or contact pages.

I'm sure this is happening because I have put the featured gallery code onto page.php template, but when I didn't put it there I couldn't get the gallery to show at all. Now it is showing on pages where I don't want it.

The code was pre-included on the home.php template but I don't know how to make home.php pick up the same content as "i'm making it my business". The Intrepidity theme has a custom homepage settings page which I just don't understand.

I know that if I only had the code on the homepage everything will be alright, but how do I get my "I'm making it my business" to be my homepage and thus access the code already installed on home.php?

I've been trying to do this, trial and error, for two days! Help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to view it I can let you have the details and change them after? Many thanks

on the page.php, where you put the gallery call in, just use this piece of code instead of pure gallery call

Code: Select all

<?php
if(is_front_page() || is_home())
{
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php');
}
?>

Thank you so much!!! That took less than 5 seconds work. I'm so happy.
Could I be so bold as to ask you another question, not directly about the featured content gallery, please?

Being: How do I get another page to display which summarises all my posts? have created a blank posts page, but my posts don't automatically show up there - any advise?

Many thanks once again

I posted the code below into my CSS function files for Wordpress Thesis theme. Now I cannot access my site and/or login at all-- I just get a blank screen and nothing else. Could you please help me?

<?php
if(is_front_page() || is_home())
{
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php');
}
?>
