Missin Starting Page form the Theme Olsen-Light package

Hi there,
actually the frontpage is a the blog page! So you will need to select your Latest Posts from Settings->Reading to get the same home as the demo.
Please have a look at the theme’s documentation here https://www.cssigniter.com/docs/olsen-light it has all the info you need to get started with the theme.
Let me know if you get stuck somewhere.

Hi Fotis.
Again thanks for the reply.
I did follow the documentation to install the theme and sample files.
This is not what I am looking for but I am not able to explain better… In the beginning I did see a page with widget spaces (I could drag different pieces to each block)…different pages and different blog posts…
Anyway, for what you say we can only have a blog page if it is the starting page?
What if I want a starting page that gives an overview of my blog and then a blog page where people can browse the latest blogs (like the starting page you point me too)?
Anyways, I am going to try to do what I want with images and text in between.
Cheers,
Sonia

Hello once more,

I still tried to get the themes “Home” page as per your suggestion.
I do not get the slider show, nor do I get a “home” page… even though when I click on the logo I do go to a “new” page with all the posts.
Questions:
1) my “home” page does not have a slider… I still think I deleted some file that I had imported from the template and template demo. Can I recover it?
2) this home page does not really exist, right? it is just automatically created when we select that we start off with a collection of blog posts, right?

Thanks for the clarification.
Cheers,
Sonia

Hi there,
1. if you want your slider to actually show on a static page, which eventually will serve as your frontpage check this (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/olsen-light-front-page/)
2. The homepage is your blog page, which by default is showing as your frontpage in Olsen light. You can change that from Settings->Reading.

Let me know if this works

Yes. Fotis. The settings –> reading is working fine. Thanks again for that tip.
Will check your link as well. You have been such a great help! wound’t be able to do it without you. Makes me feel really happy ?? thanks.

Glad I could help!!

?? I failed and don’t know why…?
1) Settings–> Reading OK. I get the front-page / home page with all the blogs listed
2) the <? php if (is_front_page() ){
on the header.php … did not give me the slider ??

This time I made the change on the actual theme file.
I still think that I deleted something by mistake when I imported the sample files and sample wizzards…
wanted to try to re-install the theme.
I have created a child and am working off the child. Do you think if I re-install both I loose all the work and extra css you have been so kindly providing me?
Or is there a way around this?

BTW I used my cPannel, code editor and the file was successfully saved.

Also, I have disabled the featured image from the posts with the css code you showed me . But it is now not showing on this front summary/home page or on the widget side bar “other posts”… Could this also be a reason for the slider not to be working?

My mistake. I can get both a static page and a blog page from
Settings–>Reading –> static page

Glad you worked this out!
