<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the link. I read and have the following conclusion.<div><br></div><div>- The theme has to display blog index if setting is "posts"</div><div>- The static page can only be displayed if setting is 'page' (static page).</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>My questions are:</div><div><br></div><div>- If option 2 and 3 are acceptable.</div><div>- If only option 1 is acceptable, the only time front page implementation will be displayed is when user choose Static without choosing any page as Front page.</div>
