    Running a cleanly installed WordPress installation and trying out the Twenty Seventeen theme. I have unpublished every page except for the Home page, yet they are all still showing up if I visit https://www.wheremothandrustdestroy.com in an incognito browser window and not logged in.

    Am I missing something obvious here? If the pages are unpublished, why do they still show if I scroll down?

    Thanks

    Using the Twenty Seventeen theme. At this point, I have trashed the default pages and they still show, leading me to believe I need to install a cache plugin in WordPress and force it to clear its own cache, since it persists even in Incognito mode in the browser.

    Or i could be wrong… This now makes no sense. All pages except for Home are trashed, and the cache is cleared. Ideas?

    go to Customizing>Static Front Page

    and check ” Your latest posts”

    if it’s not working reinstall the theme

    ?

    Interesting. That works, but I can’t understand why. How is the information showing if I select “a static front page” if I have terminated all content?

    Thanks

    Good , mybe the page you Selected still exists and not deleted

    And the best for you is installing wordpress on loclahost to “play” with it and work on the localhost wordpress and if u like the results
    Then make your website options like it

    That help u to learn wordpress better

    You can install localhost server from the web

    The server i use is XAMPP it’s a good server

    I got it resolved by purging and reinstalling WordPress. Something apparently was corrupted. A clean install works the right way.

    Thanks for your assistance.

    UPDATE: Still not working. This is very strange. Curious to see if anyone can duplicate this behavior. Install the 2017 theme, delete all the default pages except for home and set a static page, then see if the pages still show up with parallax scrolling.

    Makes no sense ??

    I suspect that twenty-seventeen, like many themes I have tried in the past with custom home screens, has a default setup. If you don’t set the home page to display some other information, or even if you don’t have any pages at all, the theme, somehow, ‘fills in the gaps,’ perhaps so that there is at least some content to display. Or it could be sort of a ‘look how it could be done’ situation. I am about to delve into this theme for a client, and I am not sure if I even need to keep the default pages, rename them, or just populate each page with new information. I wish you good luck, though!

    @ptogren, i think you are right. When i deleted the Home page, it worked as expected. So, lesson learned for me in this case is probabyl to just delete dang near everything and start from scratch. There may have been some underlying code on that home page that I just didn’t see.

    At any rate, I think I can work with it now.

    Thanks

    Got it figured out. Apparently, the magic trick is to , under the Theme Options section, choose –SELECT– for any of the four sections you do NOT want to display anything. If that setting is left blank, the theme will pull from its defaults.

    WOrking fine now.

    Now I just need to hack some CSS elements to get a logo to display properly and get the site title to scale for mobile use…

    @mykrobinson, I’m happy to help with that but we should open a new thread first.
