Featured Areas not showing after update

    I updated my Word Press and Colorway theme today to the current versions. Now, my front page is no longer showing the Featured Areas. The content is showing in Themes, Customize, Featured Areas panel when you click on Featured Areas; but they are not showing on the main page. Is there somewhere I need to turn it on? It is also showing a right side column for archive and search that I don’t want there. How do I get the Featured Areas to display and remove the right side section from my home page?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I found it just after I posted the topic. It had set the page template on my home page to default template instead of the Home template. Once I changed that it resolved my issue.

    Hi. How do I do this, as the same things happened to me. Sorry to sound like a newbie, but I am.. Have just been given a site to look after and this has happened. Thanks!

    Not sure if I can help you completely, since I just stumble my way through the WordPress site. What worked for me was this.
    I went to Pages. Then clicked edit on my page being used as my Home/Front Page. Then scrolled down to Page Attributes where it lists the template being used for that page. Mine was set to default during the upgrade. I changed it to Home Page and it returned my Featured Areas to the screen version of my Home Page.
    Also, make sure that you are doing this on the same page that is set as your Front Page. That can be found by going under Appearance/Themes/Customize/Static Front Page. Make sure in this location that you select Static Front Page and that the Front Page you list there is the same page you just edited under Pages.
    Hope that helps/works for you. ??
