• As of WP 2.1 where I have the option to have a STATIC PAGE displayed in the frontpage, I would like to know if there’s a way that I can display both a static page (About Us, for example) and normal post. I would like that the ABOUT US page will be at the top then the normal posts below it.

    Any help is greatly appreciated ??

  • I don’t think that’s doable from the admin panel.
    It would be doable with using a plugin and editing the index.php template file.

    Yes I’m looking for some template edits on this. If anyone has an idea or have already done this one, please share how to do it ??

    Yes, I have done it many times by using the get-a-post plugin: https://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/

    You can “call” any post/Page with the plugin into any template file.
    Usually, I did this: made a hidden Page with the content I needed and inserted that Page into the index file – if I wanted it on the homepage (might consider using a conditional, so to hide in other views).
    The content displayed, eventually, can be updated from the blog admin.

    specify a post or Page (but just one) to be displayed.

    But I think you can only display Page OR Post at a time, not a Page + Post.

    Thanks for the tip, btw.

    Read again, man (girl?)
    You have an index page (aka index.php template file that displays by default posts – it is its “duty” to do it. It can display one or 100 posts, depending on your settings.
    On top of it – before the Loop – you insert the plugin’s tag and that will display whichever Page or post you want.

    What is so complicated???

    [p.s. and when I say it’s doable because I did it, I mean it, so don’t argue!]
