http://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.

If you have any questions, contact me:

  • If you want to manage the content on the static page how would you do so?

  • @andrecalvoandre You would have to update the page manually via HTML like using Dreamweaver or any text editor. No CMS unfortunately.

  • 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.

  • brilliant help thanks

  • @skillssaysitall I understand that your question was posted long time ago. But in case other people are interested here are the answers:

    Create an empty .php file and copy and paste your html code inside.

    At the very top of your html code you should have the code from the video. Sorry, can't give you the code, because youtube does not allow to put the code into the comment.

  • Thanks ! Can someone HELP me . If you want to make your own CMS is it HARD ?...

    THANKS

  • WHAT !!!!!

  • Wonderful content man. I implemented it on my site nubski.com. Im a student new to the web design game. I even wrote a blog about how to do this. Im going to edit it and give you some credit now.

  • GOD DAMN THANK YOU!!!!!

  • Perfect, just what I was hoping to find here. Thank you for this great tutorial.

  • Thank you!! I had found a couple other methods of doing the same thing, but both were much more complicated. So simple; I love it. You rock. :)
