Can't get panels to properly replace the homepage

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm trying to create a page from panels to replace the homepage of my OP 2.3 site.

I have renamed the page-front.tpl.php in my sub-theme and the original openpublish theme folders and then flushed all my cache theme registry. But, for whatever reason, the 3-column layout of the original frontpage remains (the 2 vertical dividers are present) and the panel page attempts to squeeze its entire page content into the left column.

As a test, I make /node, the frontpage designation, and navigate to /frontpage, the panel page, and /frontpage dispaly as I intended.

Can someone help me with breaking the association between the page-front.tpl.php? Or whatever else is happening here that causes the theme to continue to default back to the orginal frontpage layout?

Thank you,
Joe

After I renamed the page-front.tpl.php files, I then disabled the front page in Context.

I started getting the following error when I attempted to edit or open certain articles (not all of them, but most).

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctools_export_crud_load_all()Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctools_export_crud_load_all()

After reinstalling, panels, ctools and VBO (and having no success), I decided to reinstate the changes I made previously. Re-enabling the front page context fixed my issue with the errors.

I'm still having issues with getting panels pages to replace my front page, but I figured I would pass this on, just in case this was helpful to someone else.
