Wordpress - problem with pages and templates

[estudiospiral]

Hello
i have setup a static page in the home and the post page as "news"
so for the home page i have a new template for it that has an animation.

However the News page, has another template (i just copy the home template and remove the animation from it, but it has a different name) but still calls the same animation and doesn't show the title of the post, just the post after the animation

here's the site
the HOME: http://guatemalasana.org/

the NEWS; http://guatemalasana.org/news

hope someone canl help me!

You need to go into wp-admin and edit the page that is news and remove what it is that you do not want.

Hi, yes the template "news" doesn't have the animation that is in the home template. That's the weird thing....

Hello

If I am understanding, you want the animation on the "home" page and not on the "news" page or any of the other pages?

If so open home.php(if there is a home.php) if not, look for index.php in the themes folder open it in your code editor, and add the following around the animation:

<?php if( is_home() ) { ?>
<!--your animation goes here-->
<?php } ?>

Now you might have to alter the is_home() part to fit your needs.

If he is in fact using templates, the php files could have any name *.php

It all depends on what comes after

/*
Template Name:

at the top of the php file.

Hello
thanks for your help, i have tried that but nothing, here's what i got, maybe im missing something:

HOME TEMPLATE:

<?php
/*
Template Name: My Home
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="clearfix">

<div id="content-left">
<?php if( is_home() ) { ?>
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/themes/guatemala/slidehome.htm'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php if(function_exists('post_class')) : post_class(); else : echo 'class="post"'; endif; ?>>


<?php the_content(); ?>

and here is
NEWS TEMPLATE

<?php
/*
Template Name: News
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="clearfix">

<div id="content-left">

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php if(function_exists('post_class')) : post_class(); else : echo 'class="post"'; endif; ?>>

<h3 class="post-title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h3>

and i'm sure i have selected the home as front page and news as post page.
and also in the page options each one has it's own template

thank you very much for your time!

BTW
now that i use this code:

<?php if( is_home() ) { ?>

the animation only appears in the NEWS page!! so wordpress is reading as home the News page.
