How To Display Static Page On Your Wordpress Blog's Home Page

In this post, I am going to tell you about displaying a static webpage on your wordpress blog's homepage instead of latest 10 posts (actually 10 is the default number, you can change it).

By default, wordpress displays your latest posts. However, you can change it to display a static page for your home page. To change this setting, go to your settings menu and pick reading from there. It will help you produce a consistent look to your blog or you can provide a welcome screen to your blog visitors.

But,note it down that you first have to design a static page in order to display it. By default, Wordpress creates a static page and puts it on your blog.Its the "hello World" page that you see on your front page when you install wordpress. But some bloggers delete it because of the “hello world” content. If you don’t have any static page on your blog, you won’t even be able to see that setting on your wordpress blog admin panel.

Now, on the reading settings page of panel, you will notice that you can choose between “latest posts” (the number
of posts can be changed) and a static page. To make your home page static, pick static and choose one of your pages.

It was all you need to do.....

Note: make sure you have a navigation panel or your sidebar includes a link to latest posts or archive or something. Otherwise, your visitors won’t be able to check your posts and will see only your static content.

I hope it will help you a lot in showing static page on your wordpress blog homepage. If you still face any problem, just comment here....
