Tagged: ShortCodes Ultimate
You may know that All of our Themes are WordPress.org Standards. All of the Free Versions can be found at WordPress.org because they were passed the Approval Process of WP Theme Review. As per the WP Policy those free themes should show either Blog Index or Static Page in the Front Page by default according to the Settings of WP-Admin > Settings > Reading. We also implemented that as default in our Extended Themes. But, Most of our users started to ask us how to hide the Blog Index or Static Page from the Front Page because most of the cases users don’t want to show that. So, we don’t show the Blog Index or Static Page by default in our Extended Version Themes now. But, you can still show that in your site easily from the Theme Options if you want.
If you want to show the Blog Index or Static Page in your site, you must set those first from the WP-Admin > Settings > Reading. By Default, the Your latest posts is selected for your Front page displays.
The above settings will show the Blog Index in the Front Page. If you want to show a Static Page in the Front Page and a Blog Index Page in another page, you can set the following settings where you must set 02 Separate Page for those 02. Blog Page may be blank. It may be any Page Name like My Page, Page 03, News etc.
These are the Primary Part to show the Blog Index or Static Page. Any of these o2 will be set at WordPress Dashboard by default. Most of the peoples don’t want to show that. So, we skipped this setting in our Extended Version Themes. But, you can still activate that easily from the Theme Options. Most of our Extended Version Themes have these options under WP-Admin > Appearance > Theme Name Options > General Options. Some Theme may have in different Places. You should select the appropriate one for your requirement. We believe that you can select the right option from the available 03 options marked in Red Box
These Settings will show your Static Page or Blog Index like the following but the design and layout may vary for our Themes. All Themes do not have the same layout. The example has been given with Innovation Extend Theme.
