    Hello,

    Homepage issue
    I recently downloaded WordPress and started iplementing the theme Maicha. I am trying to configure the homepage (www.exploringpaw.com) similar to this one or this one.

    After looking on the forum it seems I had to create a new page, that’s what I’ve done: https://www.exploringpaw.com/home/
    However I’d like to have this displaying on my ‘actual homepage’: https://www.exploringpaw.com
    Is that possible? If so can I also change the animation on the slider for instance?

    Article question
    When creating an article I’d like the article to take the full page, without having a bar on the right like it is currently displaying, for example here. Is that possible and if so how could I do it?

    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Mika

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

  • Hi Mika, for your first question you can set that page as the Homepage by going to Settings->Reading in your admin dashboard and then setting that page under the Static page section with the 2 dropdown boxes.

    So Homepage would be the /home link you created, then you would also need another page that would display the list of your blog posts that visitors could see.

    Regarding the article question, you can remove all widgets from the sidebar under Appearance->Widgets. However, this does leave some open space as it doesn’t span all the way across the screen. If you want it to span all the way across, you would add the following into Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS

    .single-post .section-content .col-md-8 {
	width: 100%;
}

    Awesome, thank you Jarret for your quick reply.
    I’ll try to implement this within the next few days and let you know if any issues but looks like I should be able to handle!

    Thanks again,
    Mika

    I tried the above recommendation in CSS. But it did nothing to centering the slideshow or galleries to my website.

    What am I doing wrong, or what else can I do to correct that?
