Delete widgets from home page and adjust title line-height

    Hey!

    I have just started using WordPress and have some experience with HTML/CSS but for now it’s confusing me loads.
    Three things I need help with:
    – On my home page I would like to get rid of the widgets. I love using them on other pages but want my home to be clear. If I put there only 1, it works, if I take all away there are all of a sudden 4 random ones shown.
    – Using a plug-in I changed the some of the fonts used in this theme. However, I would like the fonts for blog post titles on my home to be bigger but then the multiple-line ones overlap eachother because of the small line-height, but I can’t find where to change this.
    – Goes together with the last one. I would like to show on the home page posts only the category, featured image and title but without an excerpt. Is that an option?

    Hope someone can help me with these issues, am totally loving the theme by the way!

    oh and here is my site.

    I’m very curious about 1 and 3 problems because it bothers me a lot. I tried to delete all sections from home widgets and then 4 widgets appear, but when I do 1 only one appears. Weird.
    And with excerpt: i’d like to delete it too or at least setup as a full sentence.
    Help!

    Fair warning: I’m a bit of a WordPress novice, so this may not be the MOST helpful, or even accurate, but it worked for me.

    This theme seems to have a lot of hardcoded widgets, which is unfortunate. They’re also in the PHP files marked “Sidebar”, which is confusing, since they’re footer widgets.

    With a child theme, I was able to edit the files: sidebar-home.php and sidebar-archive.php to remove the “widgets” in question.

    Toward the end of both of these files there are a number of blocks of code that begin with something like

    <aside id=”recent-posts” class=”widget”>
    …lots of code…

    </aside>

    If you delete the chunk of code from <aside id…> to </aside> the widget goes away, yay!

    These funky built-in widgets are my least favorite element of this otherwise nice theme.
