Generate Theme – Static Home Page

[Nick Ellison]

Hi. Does anyone know how to make the Generate theme home page a static page, but keep the header?

When I go into options-reading and change the home page to a static page the generate box header disappears?

Thanks

What if you install the generate box plugin?

Ah ha, that did the trick! I didn't realise there was a plugin for it, the help files just say to copy and paste the code supplied across into the generate box widget . Thanks for that, I know someone else struggling with that too, I'll pass it on.

I have come up agains an issue with it though I can't seem to fix. How to change the background image. The grey background the plugin references is not the one on my server. It should be images/generatebox-bg.png but it doesn't seem to be pulling it in as I've changed that image to a custom one. I've changed it both in the root generate images folder and the 'orange' folder too just in case, but neither seem to be being pulled in.

CSS...

#generate-box .wrap {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 2px #999;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 2px #999;
background: url(images/generatebox-bg.png) repeat-x top #212121;
border: 1px solid #fff;
box-shadow: 0 0 2px #999;
clear: both;
color: #9f9f9f;
min-height: 195px;
margin: 2px auto 0;
padding: 30px;
text-shadow: -1px -1px #000;
width: 898px;
}
