Get rid of or effectively disable grid loop?

[burridge]

Hi, total newbie here. I am building a basic blog using the Going Green theme, and I'm having some formatting issues that I suspect are being caused by the grid loop function, which I won't even pretend to understand. I don't really want my page to display the grid section of my homepage anyhow, and it seems like it would be easier if I could just kill the whole thing, or else somehow tell the system not to designate any posts for the grid loop. (I'm sure my language/terminology here is atrocious; like I said, I'm new to this.)

For example, this (edited, by me) code is in my home.php file:

'features' => 6,
'feature_image_size' => 'featured',
'feature_image_class' => 'post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid
'grid_image_size' => 'featured',
'grid_image_class' => 'post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( '[Continue reading]', 'goinggreen' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6

The very top line tells it it how many featured posts to have; is there a way to do the same thing for posts designated as "grid"? Or is everything grid after the first 6 featured posts?

I just got the Going Green theme myself, and I love it!  I like the homepage scenario, but I know it's not for everyone.

The key thing is what you mentioned, the home.php file.  Themes don't have to have that file; it's only used when you want to customize the homepage.  To quickly disable it, you could rename the file via FTP or other means, to something like savehome.php.  Then you'll notice that your homepage won't be using this code anymore, and you can decide if you like it that way.

The result will depend on what you have set up to appear on your homepage, Posts or static page, etc., all of which can be set in:

Settings.... Reading

Then if you decide you want that special loop back, or truly want to keep editing and playing with that page,  you rename it back to home.php.

Hi Burridge and Flameno

Good reading above. I had a question along these lines...

Consistency across Home.php featured post displays and categories / page 2 etc

If you can provide insights to fix that problem, that's great!
