I'm trying to set a wordpress static HTML front page, which doesn't seem trivial.
I tried three approaches:
1) add a index.html, and rename index.php to blog.php. Change the permalink into custom: /blog.php?p=%postid%
. However for handling categories, the generated link is /blog.php?p=cat=3
.
2) add a index.html, and rename index.php to blog.php. Change the installation position into www.mydomain.com/blog.php
in my dashboard. This time it direct to www.mydomain.com/blog.php/?p=123
.
3) add a page and set it to be displayed as frontpage in my dashboard/settings/reading. However for this solution, I don't know how to change the overall html of a page edited in wordpress. I can only modify the html for the body but I need to change it whole.
Any suggestions?
index.php
alone and addingindex.html
?
