Home page disaster — styles & edits are gone

    OMG, I FINALLY got permission to go live with this site. I’ve had an under construction page up while working on the site itself. I’m running WP 3.9.2 and have customized the Sensitive template. All pages were made using the “full width” template. Everything looked great until I removed my redirect (to construction.html in the .htaccess file) and switched my WP setting to make “home” the static front page. All the changes and styling I’ve made to the home page went away (but ONLY on the home page!).

    When I click on any of the other page links, the pages look fine. And when I click the link for the Home page after visiting the other pages, it looks fine. But the Home page that’s totally messed up if I access the web site directly when the redirect is removed.

    This is my “under construction” page: https://plantekinc.com/

    The home page is supposed to look like this https://plantekinc.com/home/ but when I switch over to live it looks like this: https://plantekinc.com/mess.jpg

    I can’t even imagine where to begin to figure out what’s happening! Or, could it have something to do with the theme’s settings? Homepage settings? Is there a way to turn that off? I’ve never used this theme before…

    OK, apparently no support under the WP Sensitive forum and WPEden will not support their product unless you buy the upgraded version. Forum access is blocked unless you have a registration key.

    In desperation what I did was delete all the code from front-page.php and replace it with the contents of page-fullwidth.php which is the template I’m using. I know it’s a hack, but couldn’t find a less complex solution. Since I’m working with a copy of Sensitive (child theme), I’m not worried about any updates messing me up. It worked.

    I wish there was a This topic “was resolved by self” choice on the topic status dropdown.
