Hello all,
This is my first of what I imagine will be many queries about the excellent Thematic theme on this forum.
I am trying to build a child theme with a static homepage using only functions.php and style.css.
I have worked out how to test if the front page is up (using is_front_page) and to add extra content, plug in output and so on. I have also learned elsewhere on this forum how to switch off the sidebar for this page.
The thing is I'm not having much luck with the post content.
Ideally I would like a clean slate on the home/front page so I can position post content using my own divs to my liking: ie no static page post or sidebar.
I know I could create my own front page template to achieve this easily enough but I decided that I wanted to do it the hard way ;)
I like the idea of keeping all the layout in functions.php to make it easier to upgrade in future.
Thanks
Perry
