Cubic Theme Front Static Page
-
Hi I am trying to set up a front static page in the cubic theme. I would like 6 pictures with 3 across the top and 3 stacked underneath as seen in the them. Each picture would represent a link to another page. I have tried every possible way and can’t seem to get this going. Is it because I am using the free version.
MaryThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Cubic demo site displays the latest posts in a grid format. It’s not possible to achieve this same layout to display pages, only recent posts.
If you publish some posts – you don’t have any yet – and make sure to add a featured image to each one, your front page will look more like the demo.
You can read more about how to set up Cubic here.

Hi kathrynwp,
I’ve also activated CUBIC on my private test blog and was puzzled no pics show up on the static front page.
So do I understand this correctly: cubic does not pull a picture onto the front page (like triton lite or autofocus do) but you have to use the “featured image” setting to have the front page display a picture?

@ kikiorleans,
cubic does not pull a picture onto the front page (like triton lite or autofocus do)
Cubic uses featured images for the grid on the posts page, with each image being a link to a post. Similarly to the Cubic theme, Triton Lite and Autofocus use featured images in a tiled format on the posts page.

@lambtonphotostudio: It looks like you started using a new theme on your site. Would you still like a hand with Cubic, or are you all set?
@kikiorleans: that is correct! Cubic will display Featured Images from your posts on the front page. You can find some more information about Featured Images here.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi there, I’ve just changed my site theme from confit to cubic and whilst all is well with the front page, I cannot find how to display two pages i previously had.
How does one display pages on this theme, as they are separate from categories.

Hi mitzie8cake – when you switch themes, you need to re-assign your custom menu to the location you want it to appear in the new theme. It looks like you set up a menu on your site here – https://mitziesbubble.wordpress.com – but it’s not currently assigned to a menu location. You can do that under Appearance > Menus, by checking the box next to “Primary Menu”.

Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

hi, i am trying to figure out a way how the posts do not all show on the front page. sticky ones i leave, the others i would just like to show up in the widget “my latest posts”.. is this doable at all? thanks! suska
-
suskasstories – you can change the number of posts displayed on the blog page under Settings > Reading, “Blog pages shows at most.”
-
thanks for such a quick response – for some reason doesn’t work for me.. limited to 6 per blog page, but still front page gets the 7th post updated.. any other tips? thanks again! s
-
suskasstories – could you please provide a link to the site you’re referring to so I can look at it directly? You have quite a few sites listed under this account and I’m not sure which one is having the issue. Thanks!
-
so impressed, i didn’t know this works so handy/quickly in the forum! lodelices, trying to keep the front page neat with the first 6 images/sticky posts and the rest just for the widget (show latest posts, see behind the menu). thanks! s
-
Not sure if you saw my previous question, but I’ll need a link to the specific site you’re referring to so I can investigate this further. Thanks!

ps. kathryn, i had to remove the few extra posts for the time being because we’re right now working on choosing the theme and it doesn’t look good for this one if the extra posts show on the front page..

Hi, have a problem. My sharing icons doesn’t show on my front page. I´m set my latest post, but only each posts the shadings buttons are shown.
Show buttons on the front/archive/search results page, individual posts, pages, and media is on.
I don’t know wht happened. -

Cubic has a social links menu in the footer (not the header) as you can see on the demo site: https://cubicdemo.wordpress.com/
You can learn how to set up the social links menu here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/
