Ummmmm sorry should have said that I am already using this feature for my welcome/help screen.

Your first response was really the most logical and perhaps this should be an option thats coded into the settings because it is something that is needed for the larger site.

Is there a way to hard code a work round that you can supply?

Regards

Websitu.

Hey there,

Sorry, not Options, give this a shot!:
1) Go to Settings > Reading
2) Front Page will display: [select your posts page]
3) In the Menu Manager you'll have to make sure that you create the URL to send straight to that post page you've created only for the Homepage

I believe that'll do it...

Hi Justin
Thanks for the prompt reply - This is exactly the function that I need to implement. I have a homepage cat set up with 4 pins however I can not select that 'cat' from the themes options section and I am running the latest version 1.3

I have just watched chris's videos and its not shown on them either.

Could you enlighten me a little further

Thanks :-)

Hello, thanks for the kind words! What you can do is setup a Category to display on your Homepage (through the Theme's Options section) that is *Strictly* for the homepage. So, you may end up re-creating a few select locations, but if you pinpoint 1 category for your homepage, rather than *all* locations, it'll at least not be so cumbersome for your users. Then, within your Menu manager, you just don't link to that category. Within those posts, you can link to another page that displays *all* pins within that location.

Let me know if that makes sense!

Thanks,
Justin

Firstly - excellent theme, I am enjoying every minute of working with this and it just keeps surprising me. it's more flexible than you first envisage. It deserves all it's stars

I have an issue that I really want to get round and that is the initial load of the home page with all the pins. This is unnecessary, it slows the load of the page down which will penalise it in search and it confuses the user. I got to 150 and way to confusing.

This got me thinking about the categories and I have several categories each will have upwards of 100 - 200 pins. How could I implement the loading of the home page with an initial category. This is all that is needed to then allow the user to make further choices.

If you could supply a rough outline of the pseudo steps I could then work out a way to implement. I know that someone pointed to 301 redirects but this seems a more clunky way to attack the problem. In my opinion this is the only issue that holds the theme back a little when you head towards high number pin usage.

Thanks for your time
