twentyten child theme front static page is actually loop. Help!

  • I’ve build a twentyten child theme. It’s mostly working well.
    I noticed that my front page is just running the loop for recent posts.
    I have it set to a static page on the dashboard!
    How and where is what page to show for the front done in the template?
    I may have deleted something I shouldn’t. I heavily modified the files I copied over. I still have twenty ten of course. But don’t know what to look for!

  • Should be the index.php file.

    I have it set to a static page on the dashboard!

    In that case, it will be using page.php unless you’ve applied a different page template file.

    I have it set to ‘static’ for the front page.
    I selected the ‘sample page’, haven’t gotten around to deleting it yet.
    it is public and published.
    I still get the recent posts. in fact I can use the setting on the dashboard to show any number of posts and the front page responds to that.
    But it is still set to ‘static’ and not ‘Your latest posts’
    what function.. filter or whatever.. sets up the request for what appears on the front page based on the ‘Reading’ part of settings? Where in the template is the code located?
    How can I trace what template files are being used to build the page? at least that way I could start tracing it back from the footer.

    I checked page.php, I coppied over to the child directory, but hadn’t needed to change anything. looks ok.

    Site url?
