[theme-reviewers] Feedback on use of query_posts please -Badidea?

[Zulfikar Nore]

Neither of which are templates.
front-page.php will be picked up first so where will home.php fit in?

No, I think I have it exactly: 
 
"But I've had 
a lot of requests for options to hide certain sections and one of them was 
the blog feed on front page."

  Yeah, you’re not getting it.
   
  It’s not for the front page

  index.php is NOT the front page template, and should not be used 
  as such. It is the default fallback template. 
   
  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.

    I'm using the index.php showing featured content at the top 
    followed by the blog feed - which works fine and I had planned to stick with 
    that. But I've had a lot of requests for options to hide certain sections 
    and one of them was the blog feed on front page. 
     
    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.
     
    Long story short - user hides posts on front but still wants a blog fed 
    page and this is my attempt to fill that need.

    Why do you need template-blog.php when there is home.php for 
    exactly that purpose?

      I've read around that using query_posts is bad but I've seen 
      many a themes using it and get away with it. 
       
      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:
       
      
      add_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');
        global $wp_query;
          query_posts(array(
        'paged' => 
      $wp_query->get('paged'),
        'post__not_in' 
      => get_option('sticky_posts'),
          ));
       
        global $more; $more = 0;
          get_template_part('index-blog');
             $more = 1;
      remove_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');
       
         wp_reset_query();
      wp_reset_postdata();
       
      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?
       
      Thanks in advance,
      Zulf
