    Hello,

    I created a page using the landing page template and then when I view the page it looks as it is supposed to. When I make the page the static front page, the template breaks and does not strip header, footer elements, etc as it should. I have tried this with Centric and Outreach. I have tried using both Genesis 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. I have also tried on multiple wordpress installs.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Copy and paste the landing page template code into your front-page.php or home.php file.

    You can only use one body class though.

    I'm having the same problem. If I create a page using the Landing Page template, it strips the header/footer like it is supposed to. But if I assign the page as the Static Frontpage, it adds them back in.

    And.... braddalton's tip worked. I copied the landing page template over to front-page.php and it works correctly now.

    Thanks
