    How can I add static Text at the top of the page, fixed above where the posts begin ?

    I don’t want to use a “sticky post” because I don’t want it to look like a post, I want it to be an introduction to the website right before the posts begin.

    I tried editing the template’s index.php but it’s not working > wherever I place it, the Text just repeats above every post …….

    Put the text just above where the loop begins: <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> etc….

    Hey, thanks for the fast reply. I thought I’d actually tried that already, but apparently not because now it’s working.

    THANKS !

    did you follow the rest of the tutorial for creating a static front page?

    After creating a static front page, you need to make a page for your posts to go to, maybe called ‘Blog’ or something.

    After you have made that page, go to settings->reading (the same place you set your static front page) and assign the page to be your posts page
