<div dir="ltr">index.php is NOT the front page template, and should not be used
as such. It is the default fallback template.
<div> </div>
<div>Use front-page.php for your front page template, and home.php for your
blog posts index template. Then all of your issues go away, magically.

<div>template.blog.php is to open the option to still have a page with the
blog feed on it when the user has opted to hide them on the front.</div>

<div>Long story short - user hides posts on front but still wants a blog fed
page and this is my attempt to fill that need.<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">I've read around that using query_posts is bad but I've seen
many a themes using it and get away with it.
<div> </div>
<div>My case is I'm trying to put together a template-blog.php for
StrapVert and this is what I've come up with so far:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>add_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');</div>
<div> global $wp_query;</div>
<div> query_posts(array(</div>
<div><span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre-wrap;"></span> 'paged' =>
$wp_query->get('paged'),</div>
<div><span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre-wrap;"></span> 'post__not_in'
=> get_option('sticky_posts'),</div>
<div> ));</div>
<div> </div>
<div> global $more; $more = 0;</div>
<div> get_template_part('index-blog');</div>
<div> $more = 1;</div>
<div>remove_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');</div>
<div> </div>
<div> wp_reset_query();</div>
<div>wp_reset_postdata();</div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>But before I add these changes to the theme and submit an update I'd
like some feedback on "How Really Bad" is query_posts and can I "get away"
with the above?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
