All widgets on my home page.

  • Hi all, I am looking for a theme that will allow me to make a static home page with all widgets, preferably allowing me to change sizes, etc.

    Catalyst / Dynamic is what I am using and visually is perfect but I have one plugin that will not work with it, it seems to work with every thing else.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Rob

  • You can easily configure Montezuma to create a home page of just widgets. Montezuma is different from just about every theme out there in that you work with virtual templates and virtual CSS files to create any sort of layout that you want. You can create widget areas in the header, footer, or as many sidebars as you want. If you have a decent background in HTML and CSS, it shouldn’t be too hard to learn. What I would do is create a new main template called front-page.php (which is used for the home page) using the page.php main template as a model, add the function call dynamic_sidebar() to it, and you’re set. Then you’ll be able to drag as many widgets as you’d like into the area through the normal WordPress interface (Appearance > Widgets). You can see a demo page that took me about 15 minutes to put together here. The formatting isn’t that great, I just threw it together to show you the possibilities. You should be able to control the size & appearance of the widgets through the virtual CSS files.
