www.mlwebco.com – In this video I demonstrate how to create a wordpress page template and use a static html page as your wordpress home page. This is useful if you want to use a custom static html wordpress home page and display your blog posts on a seperate page other than the home (index) page.

      @skillssaysitall I previously created a site in HTML and tried to use this method to attach a blog page. Just did not work and upset the settings of my site. I’m sure it’s exactly because of what you noted. Let me know if you get an answer.

      @skillssaysitall i think it’s suppose to be a php page. html will run on php pages if i’m not mistaken.

      QUESTION: do you have these pages (HOME, SERVICES) hosted on a different spot then wordpress, or are you placing them within wordpress?

      I am having trouble making the page images are not showing up thanks great video

    21. Alexzandermusic says:

      @mlwebco I love this tutorial, but i am having the same problem with the images. could you please inform me how this is done.

    22. skillssaysitall says:

      Did I miss a step? You said create an HTML home page but on your tutorial it’s a PHP home page. Do I need to convert the HTML page to PHP? Also could you type the php coding you put on the top of the page in your description box. Can’t tell if there are spaces or not. Noob…sorry.

    23. 456flo says:

      Hi, thanks for this video, really helpful. The only issue I’m having is with the images, I did everything as you said, but the pictures in my page appear with a question mark instead of the image, I already uploaded the pictures to the images folder of my current theme. Any help?
      Thanks!

      if im creating a “results page” for an auto insurance site would I do the same thing you did in the demo? My site is wordpress as well. So im wondering do i create a page called “results”? … I have a code to place within this file so all the auto insurance companies display once the zip code is submitted into a form by the visitor. not working with pasting this code into a regular wp page

      If you are using a Google Analytics WP-Plugin, will the custom home page be tracked by Google Analytics automatically using this method. Or do we need to add the Google Analytics code manually to the custom home page?
