Home page vs. Blog Home page

Hi @bigbankclub,

Thank you for writing in,

If you want to make your homepage a simple one then you can remove the current widgets from the home page section by going to Appearance > Widgets > “Front Page: Slider Area” or “Front Page: Area Beside Slider” or “Front Page: Content Top Section” or “Front Page: Content Middle Left Section” or “Front Page: Content Middle Right Section” and adding the Text widget instead.

Regarding the blog page query, could you please elaborate on what exactly is the issue? It would be of help to us to look into the issue clearly.

Yes, thank you.

BUT – if I remove all the widgets, that exact layout is gone. Meaning I can not take that change it to a Blog page. The home page in your demo, I want as the Blog page and I want to have my own typical home page. BUT I think this can not be done, as the theme is designed for the layout to be only on the home page correct?

Hello @bigbankclub,

You can try this alternative which is to create a new blog page using Site Origin Layout. Please download the plugin from here. After this, you can add a new page by going to Pages > Click the drop-down on Add New and select Block Editor. When the editor opens, you can see the “Add SiteOrigin Layout Block option”. Select the widgets that you want and create a new blog page.

Similarly, you can also create your own typical home page and assign it to the static home page by going to Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays and select “A static page” to choose the new home page that you created. Please remember the homepage content for this theme can only be added by using the widgets.

We understand this isn’t the exact solution that you are looking for as unfortunately the feature to set your home page to the blog page is currently unavailable for this theme. Hope this helps. Please write us back if there’s any confusion.
