Modify Front/Home Page

  • How is the front/home generated? And how can I modify it from a child theme?

    I can see that it’s using the page.php template file, but I can’t find anything anywhere that specifies what to show if it is the front page.

    Here’s what I would like to do:

    • change the slider to an HTML video
    • change the amount of Content Areas from 3 to 4
    • change the placing of the_content() from the regular page editor to go above the Content Areas instead of below them

    I did find in wp-content/themes/minamaze/admin/main/options.php
    there’s a section called: “2.2. Home Content”
    That’s where the Content Areas are defined. I guess I could define a fourth one in the parent theme, but I wan’t to find a way to do it using the child theme. Maybe with a hook or action?

    Or am I going to have to create a front-page.php and write the HTML by hand? If so, is there anyway to reuse the code for the Content Areas?
