one page templates

How to build it? I started with front-page.php where I planned to do everything, but I have problem to load "page" content (several pages ofc) I managed to load in posts with several loops but not pages.

You don't use pages, it's all done with posts. You only have 1 page at the end of the day.

You could if you wanted to query the page post type but that's going to get messy and isn't necessary.

Click Screen Options on the menu page and you'll see the option for posts. :)

One possible option here is to create "Pages" in the admin area and use a number of custom queries in the front-page.php file to include the different "Pages" where you want them on the single site. The for each section apply a unique ID and in your menu have the links link to #uniqueid instead of actual pages.

I tried to load single page content and I didn't manage, is this only possible by using page ID or ? Can you show us how to load several pages into front-page.php file ?

For menu I used plug in "Page scroll to id" http://manos.malihu.gr/page-scroll-to-id which is doing more or less the same.

Thanks for your reply!
