Template Hierarchy Front-page.php not working

[AQthinker]

I can not get the front-page.php to be selected as the front page file to be used. I have a very simple text file echoing hello world in the file but it will not show.

Is there some extra information I need to know about how genesis deal with hierarchy.

File structure looks like this

Child Theme
- style.css
-functions.php
-front-page.php

Hi,
Can you post a link to your site, and which theme are you using?
Cheers,
Tim

Hey Tim,

I am using the primary genesis theme. I'm attempting to build a dynamic one page layout which will be named engineered but the template hierarchy is not working. I'm not certain why.

Its being developed locally, so the is no link for it. But I've literally just installed genesis. Create a folder for the child theme. I've place the css header in the style.css file, I also added the code to start the engines for genesis in the functions.php. That's all I've done so far.

My next step was to simply create a front-page.php but its not registering. I'm still being directed to sample page.

Try activating the Sample child theme and adding the file to that.

Worked perfectly.

There was a list of things my functions.php was missing.

Thanks, Ren
