   There seems to be confusion here as I can't replicate IF I follow these instructions (attached screenshot).

   1. Rename home.php to homeold.php (even just delete it if have a back up copy)
   2. Make sure you have NO home.php in the parent OR child theme you are using
   3. Link up the news /blog template to the page called blog
   4. Set up the front page to whatever name page you have for instance mine is called about
   5. Make sure you have NO other plugins on apart from BuddyPress just for testing purposes

   As said a screenshot is included to clarify.

   *EDIT we are having some issues with uploads I am investigating but the settings are as follows:

   A static page (select below)

   * Front page:about
   * Posts page: blog

   @Tammi - please see the following:

   1. Rename home.php to homeold.php (even just delete it if have a back up copy) - DELETED
   2. Make sure you have NO home.php in the parent OR child theme you are using - DONE: NO home.php is in the parent or child theme
   3. Link up the news /blog template to the page called blog - DONE
   4. Set up the front page to whatever name page you have for instance mine is called about - DONE: Mine is called Home
   5. Make sure you have NO other plugins on apart from BuddyPress just for testing purposes - DONE: only one plugin remains active (BuddyPress)

   A static page (select below)

   * Front page:about - DONE (mine is called "Home")
   * Posts page: blog - DONE

   @DWandler: Works for me in that case using Product please sent to the contact form on this site your ftp username and password and also an admin login and password for WordPress and I will look at your site tomorrow now it will be as getting late for me here time wise. The only thing I can think is something is up with your permlinks but need to see things I can no longer assist remotely on this matter so hopefully we can get somewhere if I take a look. I can't promise anything though but will happily take a look as can't replicate this on my sites.

   Sorry but I see the home page showing and a blog / news page showing... what exactly is wrong with that? This is what we were trying to have yes? I'm getting really confused what exactly is wrong with this as this is what we were trying to get done in the first place:

   1. Show on front page just a page
   2. Show on blog page a blog / news template page

    @Tammie - a quick recap of first (and following) posts in the forum regarding this ongoing issue:

    1. a. Home Page Desired: I would like for the Home page to be set up like the demo and the sales page reflects it can. Therefore, according to the theme demo, I should be able to set up the new member log-in/message, rows/columns on my home page and determine what content I want reflected in the rows/columns. Also, I should be able to have the images/images & test/video/video & text, reflect on the Home page (i.e. anything relevant I choose to select under the theme options tab for the Home Page).

    1. b. Home Page Currently Showing: Nothing -- I am unable to get the Home Page to reflect the features stated on theme demo for the Home Page.

    2. a. Blog/News Page Desired: This should reflect future blog entries and RSS feed widget; thereby truly "acting" as a blog-news page.

    2. b. Blog/News Page Currently Showing: Instead the blog/news page is reflecting all of the features that are supposed to be assigned to the Home Page (i.e. new member log-in/message, the rows/columns I set up to reflect on my home page, the images/images & test/video/video & text slider, etc).

    I hope this further clarifies and reduces any confusion. Please let me know if you have additional questions. Again, I appreciate your assistance, D.

    @Tammie - to a clearer point, I would ideally like the site to have the following capabilities:

    1. Home/Landing page as stated above
    2. Blog page for my blog entries. RSS widget in sidebar
    3. A SEPARATE page for the community activity feed. The community activity should have its own dedicated page and not be meshed in with instructional content I am delivering on my blog.
    4. And eventually (not relevant to the support request), I need to set up a page dedicated to online shopping/purchases.

    Hope this helps with the understanding of what I am attempting to accomplish; particularly with the resolution of the issue(s) identified.

    Best, D.

    If you want the home page to look like demo you can't set a static home page also that is home.php and you set content it's a one option or other nothing else. That is the way WordPress / BuddyPress works. You set the content using theme options. If you set a home static page it will not work as you desire you have to not use that. You confused me sorry by saying you were doing that I assumed you wanted a static home page. Just remove that and just set up theme options - all is good.
