HATCH theme: trouble with static HOME page

I am having the same problem. It looks like it is reverting to some tiny thumbnail layout even though the full-width is selected for the page i have listed as “Front Page” under reading settings.
Very confusing…
my site is at haleywcreative.com

The theme isn’t built to use a static page as home page. There is no mention of such thing in the documentation. I guess you are confusing it with one of my other themes – Oxygen.

Of course it’s possible to modify it to display static pages on the index in a visually appealing way, but it would require some custom work.

does anyone have any experience with creating a working static homepage with the hatch theme? it is so beautiful, i really do not want to find another to work with.

i am a noobie, so not every experienced with coding, but i am going to try to mess around with the index and see if i can get somewhere.

ultimately i want a slide show and a blurb about my art on the homepage…

i truly appreciate anyone’s shared experience and solutions with this static homepage issue.. it seems like quite a few people have tried to make it work..
my site is shannonannkeenan.com.

thanks!

I’m experiencing the same problem too. I can’t insert a large image centered on the home page. Please can someone look into this and help us out. Many thanks

HATCH theme Apologies, but no entries were found.??????plz reply

Not sure what you mean about ‘No entries were found”?
I can’t get a large picture on the first page /Static page using the Hatch Theme. (which I love BTW) it only gives me a small thumb nail on the far left side.
Any help would be appreciated.

what No entries were found ?????

Sorry I’m not stupid but your link did work once and I saw a graphic on the right hand side which look like it was in the Hatch theme. Are you trying to tell me you can place a image on the home page in hatch? if so can you explain how you got it work.

I can′t find where to place the text to the right for the big main picture on the mainpage….

I have found a solution for placing images in the 4 bottom content areas that are posts but having those posts go to pages.
You have to install the plugin “Quick Page/Post Redirect DEV” and then you can assign 4 posts to those areas (with images), but redirect each to a different Page, so that the visitor never actually views the content of the post, but goes straight to the page. This allows you to feature images on the homepage but link to pages that hold your actual content.

As far as featuring text to the left of the main page image, that is edited by going to Users -> Your Profile and editing the BIO for yourself. That bio is what displays on the homepage. The page is found at https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/profile.php (yoursite replaced with your URL of course).

I have implemented the post/page redirect plugin on my site at https://www.haleywcreative.com and it works great.

@san_sa_rocky, please create your own thread with your own details.

Hello all, after trying to figure out how to achieve this on my own site for a few hours I figured it out.
You need to edit style.css and replace

.home .hentry, .archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

with

.home .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0 0 20px 0;
	font-size: 1em;
}
.archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

And then in the wordpress reading settings page change the frontpage to be the static page you want.

my problem is solved.. ??
