New to WordPress and having fun

Is your site’s front page a static page or a list of recent Posts? Have you reviewed Theme Development?

Static. TD, No, Ill check it out. Thanks

I’m in Customize your site. Clicking on Save generates the PHP file.
All I want to do at this stage, is get a working front page for my site. Do I need to go with PHP or can I set up a html page?

Just noticed something. When clicking on Theams, I get a Blank white screen.
Any ideas Why?

Hey first of all you need to be pretty good in HTML and CSS then go to WordPress coding. It’s not that easy not that hard but you’ll need to know HTML + CSS before you jump into WP coding.

I’m in Customize your site. Clicking on Save generates the PHP file.

Sorry? That’s not part of WordPress core. What theme and/or plugins are you using?

In The Dashboard. Big Blue button, Customize your site. I get the left hand menu. The right side is just a blank white scree.

Sorry, Std. Plugins. Std. Themes

Freaky1. Not that fused about coding at pres. Just need to solve a a Home page problem. Server is Linex with Fasthost. normal home page would be index.html or index.htm. WP sets it as index.php

My .htaccess file reads

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

My index.php reads

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

Theres something wrong here???

Site url?

Are you using any caching plugins? What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

Cashing plugins, Not to my knowledge. Theme, no yet, Just a page with letters on. Did try the std theme, but it never came up as a page. Theme came with the package of WP 3.5
I have a front page at pres. but just put one banner on working with a very old copy of Dreamweaver MX. Very baffled by WP???

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. But been away from my system most of the day.

I think Freaky1 might see the deal here…

…and I say that as a respectful rookie who realizes you know for more than I do. If I am seeing clearly here, what you are trying might be something like making a Windows app run inside Debian. It can be done, of course, and even is, but with WordPress it would be far easier to begin with a WordPress Child Theme and then go from there.
