    Hi, I am trying to set the portfolio page as a static front page of my blog, I have tried everything .. I have read the guide and none of the options mentioned seem available from here:

    Portfolio Page Template
    Portfolio Page TemplateThis template will display your portfolio and allow you to set your portfolio as the site’s front page.

    When you first activate Sketch, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format. If you’d like to use the portfolio page template as the front page of your site, as the demo site does, it’s simple to configure:

    Create or edit a page, and assign it to the Portfolio Page Template from the Page Attributes module.
    Go to Settings → Reading and set “Front page displays” to “A static page”.
    Select the page you just assigned the Portfolio Page Template to as “Front page” and set another page as the “Posts page” to display your blog posts.
    By default, the page title and post content will appear. You can hide them if you prefer by going to Appearance → Customize → Theme and check “Hide title and content on Portfolio Page Template” option.

    I have managed to set the portfolio page it’s here: https://criminallycreative.wordpress.com/portfolio/ I just cannot set it to a static page and have no idea why not .. there is no option in the drop down, I only get an option for ‘About’ and there is also no option to simply drop in the URL .. please help!!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there. It looks like your front page is now showing your portfolio page. Did you manage to figure this out?
