    Hello,

    Firstly go to

    Appearance > Theme Option > General Settings > Front Page On/Off
    and turn it off.

    Now,
    Go to Settings > Reading
    and select your static page from there.

    Sending image for reference

    hi gourav,

    that was, what i did! but it don't work
    i use youre theme in a mulitsite installation
    when i take any page and specify it for start-page - the theme shows me every time the origin starte page (of the theme) not the site i have choosen!?

    i wrote a new template with the vide0 slider like the videocraft theme but below the slider i want a normal site - it works as a site - but when i got to the settings and make this site as the start/home-site - the template shows me

    [​IMG]

    below the slider it should show a normal wp-page (not the category videos) - as a site it works, when i switch the front page (like you showed in the screenshot in your reply) it don't work :(

    have you any idea why?
    thx for helping
    edi

    --------- i fixed it !
    the problem was: you first have to switch off "front page on/off" in theme options !
    than you can set a static page on wp-options :))

    thx
