Thank you.

Safari kicks back an infinite loop error.

Okay so I made a page.php file and it still breaks. Even if I set the permalinks to default or have the setting as described in the static front page link you gave me.

I even used the page.php from the default WordPress theme.

Any ideas?

I’ll give that a shot. I’m straying a bit off topic now. Is it okay if I email you sometime to discuss theory or strategy? I’d love to learn these things better.

Do you have any other recommended reading for theme development?

I have programmed about 20-30 themes so far but I am just now getting my feet wet in the more advanced side of the WordPress theme development.

I’m really struggling a bit with some of the more dynamic things. For example, I have a static menu made of images in HTML and I want to let wordpress manage the drop down of it. Basically just an unordered list of links but the trick is it has to have logic for each button saying “If this page has children, display links” you know?

Luckily WordPress is incredibly documented and it seems any idea I have or problem I run into, someone has done it before and posted about it online which is one reason I love WordPress.

Do you have any other resources you use for tricks like that or just the WordPress documentation?

Thank you very much, esmi.

Alright thanks, esmi. I will give it a shot. So when it is set to use a specific page for the homepage, WordPress uses the page.php file for that logic?

I always thought page.php was a way of displaying pages one at a time and it was optional. It would start with index.php and if page.php exists, it would use that. Otherwise it would use index.php

Is my logic wrong there? I’d like to understand how the framework works as best as I can since I use WordPress a lot and since you’re a Theme Diva, I’m sure you can provide some insight. =)

Okay so if I haven’t made a page.php file, that’s why it’s breaking eh?

I read over it and I feel I have done those things, yeah.

Can you be more specific about what on my site isn’t working? I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

Did you look at my pastebin?

Well I imagine it’s a theme issue. That’s why I posted the template code. The mods edited it though so I will post a pastebin shortly.

Yes. Even using the default WP theme it happens.

wp_debug is the name of the folder I have it in. That’s just my wordpress debug folder on my server.

I set the index to what you posted. Still gives the same error:

Safari can’t open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open “https://localhost/wp_debug/”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

The “Reading” settings say:
Front page displays a Static Page. Front page: Home, Posts page: blog

Will do. Sorry about that. I’m used to the code tags having a height.
