Maybe something like</p> <pre><code>$latest_post = get_posts( array( &#39;numberposts&#39; =&gt; 1) ); $latest_post_id = $latest_post-&gt;ID; query_posts( &#39;p=$latest_post_id&#39; );</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/latest-post-as-homepage#post-23058 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:24:54 +0000 helgatheviking 23058@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>you could copy the blog template and adjust the query to only pull 1 post. that will easily handle the latest post part... the comments are trickier. not impossible, just can't think of it off the top of my head. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/latest-post-as-homepage#post-23055 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 23:22:03 +0000 algegro 23055@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I'm working on a weekly comic site and I was hoping to use thematic as the parent theme. The only problem with this approach is that I need the full latest post to be the home page, including comments.<br /> Is it possible to achieve this through a child theme? </p>
