There is no pub theme, that’s a quirk of how WordPress.com the premium 3rd party service ran by Automattic is internally structured. It’s non-standard. To be more specific WP.com doesn’t use the normal theme folder structure, and instead of searching wp-content/themes for theme folders, it searches wp-content/themes/pub and several others for themes, but mostly pub. … Read more
Glad you got it sorted out, but to answer your original question: 1) The front-page.php template file, if it exists, will be used to generate Front Page content, whether the Front Page is set to display the blog posts index or a static Page. 2) The home.php template file, if it exists, will be used … Read more

This function is being called http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordpress-popular-posts/tags/2.2.1/wordpress-popular-posts.php#L360 There are … Read more
First, ensure that your template file is named home.php. Second, there’s no need to use a custom query loop in this context. If you only want to display 3 posts on the blog posts index (i.e. the “homepage”), then filter the main loop query via pre_get_posts: function wpse83660_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( is_home() && … Read more
You can use is_paged() …checks if page being displayed is “paged” and the current page number is greater than one. This is a boolean function, meaning it returns either TRUE or FALSE. You can adjust your code as follows <?php if( is_home() && !is_paged() ) : ?> <p>Some text</p> <?php endif;?>
You can do this with pre_get_posts. This hook is called after the query variable object is created, but before the actual query is run. For excluding category id 32 and 39 from homepage, you can setup a function like this. function wpse_exclude_categories( $query ) { if ( is_admin() ) return; if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() … Read more

That thread on GitHub (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/14914#issuecomment-299714488) was updated by one of the Woo devs and he provided an example loop and explained what is happening: Featured was meta in 2.6, but is a taxonomy (for performance!) in 3.0 – so adjust queries to use tax_query instead of meta_query accordingly. To … Read more
the_post_thumnbail() doesn’t accept an arbitrary post id as an argument. It just takes a size to display. To get the post thumbnail URL of a given post, you need to use get_the_post_thimbnail_url(): <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url( get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ), ‘full’ ); ?>
First you can use the more-Tag when writing the post. WordPress will only Show the Part before the more-Tag and Show a Read-more-Link. You can open the file with the Loop in the Active theme (normally index.php), Search for the_content(…) and replace it with the_excerpt().
