[theme-reviewers] Make change on my unapproved theme

[Chip Bennett]

The easiest route is to add conditional output in front-page.php:

if ( 'page' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {
    // Original front-page output here
} else {
    // Normal loop output here
    // You can get_template_part( 'loop' ) if you use loop.php,
    // or, you could use get_home_template()
}


Alternately, you could rename your featured-content template file as
template-featured.php, and give it a proper custom page template "Template
Name:" header, then do something like:

if ( 'page' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {
include( get_page_template() );
} else {
include( get_home_template() );
}


Then, the user would just have to assign that page template to the page
assigned to display the site front page.
