Custom Home page

• Custom home pages will override the index.php and can be built in Dreamweaver and augmented by the Wordpress codes

• Two possibilities
  • home.php
  • front-page.php

• You can save them into the child theme

• Each parent theme is different, but you can copy/paste php hooks (code snippets) onto the custom home page
• You can also save elements into the child theme and customize them as well. Be aware that all themes are different and you could cause some real damage. However, it's a child theme so you can always rever back to the parent
  • header.php - most common...this is the easiest way to add elements onto every page (ie. Google analytics code snippets)
  • page.php - for pages
  • single.php - for posts
  • archive.php - for categories
