<div dir="ltr"><div>It has a lot of meaning :)<br></div>It gives you an option to show a page as index(in traditional web dev sense) and switch between list of posts or page, otherwise you would have to manually edit the index.php or build your own option setting to do that.<br>

<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>
