After setting up the BlogsMU front page, I decided I wanted a news page to list the latest posts. So I set this up under Reading Settings by setting the Front Page to a blank page with the Homepage template, and setting the Posts Page to a blank page with the default template.
After doing this, BlogsMU displays the large header block above the posts page, but not above the front page!
Any way to switch these around to display the way I would expect?

hi
yeap its a confirmed bug, try replace the attach header.php with your current one.
alos when using reading setting posts page should be a blank page with default template, you do not
need to use the blog and news custom template...let me know if it fixed ok
Thanks for the fix, Richie! The file you attached sets it right.
Interestingly, I learned that when a Front Page and a Posts Page are both set, is_home() returns true on the posts page but false on the front page! Had to use is_front_page() instead!

Hey godot.
Both of those templates will be in the theme directory:
blogs-mu/page-template-blog.php
You could take a look in there and swap the header code around to get the effect you are looking for.
Hope this helps, if you need anything else then please let me know. :-)
Take care.

Hi Timothy,
I'm not sure what to add or take away from the theme files, since I really don't know why they would display reversed. I'm pretty sure this is a bug?

Also, it looks like there is no header code in the page templates; it's all handled in the header itself.

Sorry I missed that one, I had wrongly assumed the header in those files (not the main site header) were intentionally different. :-s
Thanks Richie for catching this one for me! :-)
