From Settings I changed New User Default Role to Author but I still can’t edit index.html through WP.

I don’t have subscribers, I would give the login details to the client, they would log in and from there make whatever changes they need to…

Blogs are irrelevant to this project (at the moment) so I have no need for posts.

I was hoping WP could allow a client to make edits to their own site in the way a more robust tools such as Joomla or Drupal can. For instance, if a few lines on the About Us page needed to be amended they could make the changes by logging onto WP and changing the text, image or whatever needed to be changed. They could do this without having to rely on a knowledge of HTML, CSS etc.

Is this possible?

Thanks for the plugin, it will come in handy as I shouldn’t really leave an unfinished project open to the public.

As for the whole post thing, I just copied that code from page.php as the tutorial stated.

I’ve always designed and maintained websites in the past and all updates have been done by me. For a new project I wanted to branch out into CMS, mainly because the site will be updated regularly and I can’t invest the time to do so myself.

I created homer.php through following the above tutorial to create a test page so I could find out how to do so.

Pretty much, I want to let the text on a page be easily edited by a client so that they can update a site instead of having to rely on me.

I can’t figure out how to update text on index.html by entering it into homer.php.

As I said I’m new to this whole area.

Thanks Roy, but I forgot to say I also went to Settings->Reading and chose Homer as a static front page with no luck.

Unless you meant something else in which case I don’t understand.
