In reply to: landing page to show recent post with comments, wordpress.com example
January 18, 2011 at 5:04 am #12212Hi there,
I found this comment on a forum:
you can add this to the template for the home page.
I’m not sure if I should put this into the index.php file for
graphene, or into another file? any suggestions so that the
change won’t be lost with upgrades?
thanks,
Evelyn
<?php
$withcomments = 1; // force comments form and comments to show on front page
comments_template();
?>
Hmm…
I don’t see anything other than an icon of a piece of paper.
Not a big problem tho..

Hi again,
I went to wordpress.com and played around with a theme and it was set up to show
my post on the landing page with comments.. it seems that is a pretty common
way for people to see a blog site when they arrive. So now I am more confused
about why is this turning out to be so hard?
How do I set front page to be the post page?
Thanks,
Evelyn
Oh Dear,
My goal is to create posts that only contain a video. I want the newest video to display on the front page, along with comments. Is the only easy way to do that to hard-code the video URL into the static page I use for a front page? And then how can I keep a history of them? Could I create posts with these videos that will show up in the archive, but manually choose which one to display on the static page with the comments?
Can’t I tell the theme to display the post page as the front page, have it also display comments for that post? and then have the post page only display the newest?
Thank you for all of your help! It is very much appreciated.
Evelyn
Thank you!
I see the favicon in the browser URL box for Safari, but not firefox or IE.
I use the program xnview http://www.xnview.com
It has a “save as” to save image files as .ico files. I thought that would work.
Thanks,
Evelyn
I placed a favicon.ico file in the same directory where the wp-…. files are. I’m assuming that is the
Wordpress root directory you refer to?
My favicon does not show up in the url line..
What will cause the theme to refresh/update that?
Thanks,
Evelyn
Hello Syahir,
I see your comment, and I had earlier played with some settings and was able to get them to display. thank you for looking. I do have it set right now for moderated comments since I’m not really “live”. I’m still creating this page and do not have it enable for search engines, etc.
Thank you again!
Evelyn
Thank you so much!
I have also been having trouble with putting the post page as the static home page, and I want the comments to stay there. I checked the box to add comments to every page, yet if you look at the page
http://www.servemorepeople.com
there are no comments displaying.
I also want to allow people to login to add a post using their facebook login.. do you know a plugin for that?
I tried a lot of themes to create the simple page I wanted, and yours has been the best I have found!! Thank you for creating it. 🙂
