Thanks for the reply, I am sorry to hear you don’t have a good solution for me. Yes, I contacted RocketTheme and they pointed me to a couple of articles on how to create a custom page template in Gantry but so far I have had no luck. Their comment about why this doesn’t work is because of the way Gantry works, it seems it doesn’t use the traditional loop as other WP theme frameworks.
The articles they pointed me to are:
http://www.rockettheme.com/magazine/jan-2012/1339-creating-a-custom-page-template-in-gantry-for-wordpress
and
http://www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/wordpress/advanced/
If you have any suggestions to point me in the right direction to see if I can find a solution I’d appreciate it.
