Skipping a page or going to a bookmarked item gives a blank page #11

e.g. http://museumgam.es/?obj_ID=3014 or http://museumgam.es/?skipped_ID=13213

But only on live (not dev or staging) and other pages that accept object IDs work e.g. http://museumgam.es/content-added-so-far/?obj_ID=201

Possibly because it's at / ?

The only diagnosis I've got so far is that when parameters are added to the front page call, it expects a blog post, even though the theme is set to use a specific static front page.

e.g. www.museumgames.org.uk/index.php?skipped_ID=12017 goes to a list of posts; it doesn't show anything on live as there aren't any published posts.

A quick hacky fix might be to set up a quick home page (useful for explaining the site anyway) and set the games to run on their own page again. I'll try that for now.

Nope.

As soon as you add parameters to the root address, it redirects to the posts page set in the theme (and if there aren't any posts or none has been set as the posts page it freaks out). There was also something gnarly going on with the primary (custom) menu. Set a static front page with 'about' text, which moves Dora into a sub-page again. Also created a post (not page) with the Dora shortcode so even if the posts page is hit, there's a game there.
