All,<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking of switching up my review setup (and perhaps adjusting the Theme Unit Test data accordingly), such that by default, it is setup to use a Static Page as the Front Page, and a separate Static Page for the Blog Posts Index.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've seen a few instances where:</div><div><br></div><div>1) I might forget to test the front-page.php template file, or</div><div>2) The Theme Developer mistakenly uses "home.php" instead of "front-page.php" as the Front Page template, which causes the Blog Posts Index to behave incorrectly when in a Static Front Page setup.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to think of any drawbacks, but can't come up with anything. If the Theme doesn't include "front-page.php" and/or "home.php", then the template hierarchy will fall back properly to "page.php" for the Static Front Page and "index.php" for the Blog Posts Index.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Can anyone think of any drawbacks with using this approach?</div><div><br></div><div>Chip</div>
