Add site origin panels to frontpage

Hello Bluestandish,

Is it possible to add other panels from site origin to the frontpage of the theme.

You need to do some customization to the theme.The best way to make changes to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

After you are done with the child theme activate the theme and put following code inside your functions.php:

function bizlight_front_page() {
        if ( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {
            include( get_home_template() );
        }

        else {
            include( get_page_template() );
        }

    }

add_action( 'bizlight_action_front_page', 'bizlight_front_page', 10 );

Now you can create add panels from site origin to the frontpage.

How do I also get rid of the copyright theme by … at the footer.

Go to Appearance->Customize->Theme Options->Footer Options and change the copyright text.
Regards.

Ooh ok thanks Madhusudan, will give this a try and get back on here.

Hello sir, I have tried but it’s only show site origin panels on the frontpage without the theme’s original panels. I wanted both on the frontpage. Also changing the copyright doesn’t get rid of the proudly powered by WordPress Theme by…?

Hello bluestandish,

I wanted both on the frontpage.

You can select the pages on front page via customizer that are available on the theme’s features.

Also changing the copyright doesn’t get rid of the proudly powered by WordPress Theme by…?

You need to customize the function bizlight_footer which is inside inc/hooks/footer.php as you would like to.

Let me know how it goes.

Great. thanks Madhusudan. It’s now working fine. all the giving the given solutions from you was good. thank you so much for your time. currently I am trying to integrate woocommerce with the theme but i guess it’s not working so much on the product’s page. these were the codes i picked from the documentation page of the woocommerce to place in the functions file of the theme. they are not working still. however, i figured the functions.php file of the theme doesn’t have any php close tag. I don’t know whether that’s the reason the woocommerce integration is not working.

remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_main_content’, ‘woocommerce_output_content_wrapper’, 10);
remove_action( ‘woocommerce_after_main_content’, ‘woocommerce_output_content_wrapper_end’, 10);

Then hook in your own functions to display the wrappers your theme requires:

add_action(‘woocommerce_before_main_content’, ‘my_theme_wrapper_start’, 10);
add_action(‘woocommerce_after_main_content’, ‘my_theme_wrapper_end’, 10);

function my_theme_wrapper_start() {
echo ‘<section id=”main”>’;
}

function my_theme_wrapper_end() {
echo ‘</section>’;
}

I will go over to the woocommerce side to put this question up. was only wondering since you know much about the bizlight theme, you may have encountered people that have faced similar problems with wordpress integration before? or may have a link to a similar resolved issue. Anyway, I am really much grateful for the help you have given me on this.I will mark this forum resolved – but you can still share any ideas on my current woocommerce integration issue if you have any answers. Thank you.
