Worked. Great. Thanks so much. How would I have known that was the correct link? Documentation anywhere?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

I’ve read this article, but I can’t seem to get my mind around how to do this. Keep in mind I’ve setup about a dozen blogs for others where we’ve used the Static Front Page plugin – some even to look like “static websites.” So I have no problem with the ‘static homepage’ part of my request.

Where I’m unable to find a solution that will let me keep the static homepage and the blog “homepage” at the same time, in the root folder. I would rather not go to a “blog” folder to view the blog “homepage.”

I also want a template that’s specific to my site homepage (home.php – which overrides index.php) and is only used for the site’s overall homepage. I want to use a slightly different template for “pages” and a third slightly different template for the “blog/post/archives” files.

So really, I want three slightly different templates all working together from within WP where I have what appears to be a “static homepage” for the entire site (with blog summaries in the body of that homepage) with the option to view “pages” (know how to do this) and the “posts homepage” (this is my sticking point).

Am I being clear enough? I’m not certain.

I want a similar setup, just I’m looking to do so all from within the same folder (root). I don’t want to go to mysite.com/folder to get to the blog.

Anyone have any ideas about this. At the very least, tell me it’s not possible, if that happens to be the case.

Thanks.

So how can I have a static home page, with a different template, and a blog homepage (index.php) while using my theme (not html file) and still keep WP installed in root?

That fixed it. Didn’t see it because I changed the order of what’s displayed in the sidebar. Thanks for the lead.
