Hi,
I am in the process of cleaning up my site (simple catch theme) before installing the Pro Version. In checking, I've noticed that I have used the default frontpage in Settings Reading, that is the "blog as landing page" . The blog contains the slider image. However, I want to set the static front page to"Home Sweet Home" and the posts page as "Internet Marketing Blog" - the aim is for the site to appear as a website, not a blog. When trying the set the front page display in Reading Settings, I have noticed a range of front page options, one of which is the Home Sweet Home page, that's great. But, when looking at the posts page, it has repeated these 'page"options - i.e. not the 'Internet Marketing Blog" nor the 3 published posts I currently have up.
I am concerned that the "posts" do not come up in the Reading static page display "post pages" settings, I've tried a post with the "Internet Marketing Blog" name, and it doesn't work, I've checked the menu, and added a category - in the Reading settings.
What I want is the landing page set to "Home Sweet Home" and have the slider page on this page. I would also like to set the "Internet Marketing Blog as the posts page with current posts on this page, if this means another slider, that's okay. This would mean the same slider on 2 pages - one on the home-sweet-home page and one on the Internet Marketing Blog.
So, before proceeding with the upgrade, do I have cause for concern? And if so, any suggestions on getting this to work? My site is www.iwritegreatcopy.com.
Thanking you for your help.
