WordPress does have a way of doing what you want. Make them all top level pages. Unless you have a good reason not to.
Create a file front-page.php with the following content: locate_template( ‘category-image-gallery.php’, TRUE, TRUE ); That’s all. For the theme’s functions.php If you want to restrict the front page content to posts from that category, filter the front page query: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse_74225_frontpage_categories’ ); function wpse_74225_frontpage_categories( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_front_page() ) { $query->set( … Read more
