    Hi all,

    I am using Wordpres Version 2.2.2

    I am wanting to create a static home page, and according to everything I have read that can be accomplished via Admin/Options/Reading Options.

    However, I go there and do not see the dropdowns that should be there ???

    Any Ideas? Could the theme or a plugin be altering this?

    Thanks!

    Bob LaPlante

    1. Upgrade to WordPress 2.2.3, at least.
    2. It’s the first option on the Reading Options page. What do you see *instead* of the Front Page option?

    I see :

    Blog Pages
    Show at most: posts

    Syndication Feeds
    Show the most recent: posts

    For each article, show:

    Full text
    Summary

    Note: If you use the <!–more–> feature, it will cut off posts in RSS feeds.
    Encoding for pages and feeds:
    The character encoding you write your blog in (UTF-8 is recommended)

    WordPress should compress articles (gzip) if browsers ask for them

    Hmm this was installed with Fantastico & 2.2.3 dont seem to be an option there. Not sure how to upgrade manually. Thought the page option started with 2.1 ?

    Yeah, I don’t trust automated installers. My guess is that their installer ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, which is why you’re missing the option.

    Avoid Fantastico, do it yourself.

    Well I manuallt upgraded to 2.3…

    The Options Still do not show up..

    I have also deactivated all plugins ..
    and changed to the default theme.

    Still No options available for defining
    the Front Page.

    Guess its a Mystery … Or its a feature that isnt there LOL

    Huh. Well, I learned something today.

    That option only shows up if you actually have any Pages created. If you don’t have any Pages written, then obviously you cannot set one to be the Front Page. ??

    Although something must have gone wrong with that upgrade…
