loop-page.php
is the wrong context for what you are trying to do.
If you want it to appear on the home page, then you need to edit loop.php
, so in your child theme you can either create a file called,
loop.php
…which should take precedence over the loop.php
found in the parent TwentyTen theme or better yet create a file called,
loop-index.php
…which will take first priority over the above. By doing this and NOT creating a loop.php
we will allow the loop.php
file in the parent theme to act as a fall back in case something goes wrong.
Hopefully that makes sense.
In summary, you want to create a loop-index.php
file (best option).
You can simply copy the contents of what you find in loop-page.php
over to this loop-index.php
file to give you the basic framework for your template, then you can modify the template to your liking.
