    Hi,

    Is there a way to display the blog template as the main/front page of Minimum Pro, instead of the default front page template?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Silver

    Hi Silver,

    To display a normal blog layout on Minimum Pro, simply rename the front-page.php file in the theme folder to something else, like front-page-old.php. That will prevent the theme from being able to find and use the file, but it will still be there if you decide to change the name back later and use the widgetized homepage instead. Hope that helps!

    Thanks, this worked too for me using the Landing Page template on my front page.
