I am creating a theme from scratch for the first time and have run into a very weird problem. When i edit my home page in the Dashboard's Edit Page, those changes do not display to the live page.
The only way i can add or change content on the Home page is to manually add it into the content area of this page's template, Front-page.php, in Dreamweaver. The content I upload via Dreamweaver appears intact in the Dashboard's Edit Page; however, if i try to make changes to the content there, none of those edits post to the live home page. So then I return to view the Home page in Dashboard's Edit Page, and there I see my edits... What is keeping these edits from being posted to the live home page?
I am using Wordpress 3.6.
This site's url is: http://pennyrosenwasser.com/aug2013wp/
How I created my home page:
- I created a new page in the Dashboard and named it Home.
- I selected the template file Front-page.php as this page's template.
- I selected 'use static page' and selected Home as that page in Settings/Readings.
Here is the code for my Front-page.php, with all the content removed to conserve space:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Front-page template
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!--content sits in here-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Last, but probably not least: I switched to a different theme and this problem went away!
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.
Thank you in advance!
