org Zeener Theme – Front Page: the theme does not recognize the new front page

Hi @sy1080

The Zeever theme uses the Front Page template that you can edit through Appearance > Editor. Based on WordPress template loading, if a theme has a template for Front Page, it will load first, other than the pages.

Hi Preadnya jegstudio , thank you for the response. I know how to edit the template, but I do not want to. I do not want to use the Front Page template , nor do I want to change it (I want to be able to look back to it for reference). I have built a new front page, revised to the new front page: Reading Settings, Appearance>Homepage Settings, Menu, and set it to Main Page (no parent). The site still defaults to the Front Page Template with the Flamingos. In fact, the new page information has been added to Appearance>Homepage Settings, but the Flamingo page still displays. I have included screencaps here: https://elliotstellar.group/front-page-issue/

In this case, please try to add this code to your site/wp-content/themes/zeever/functions.php

add_filter(
	'gutenverse_themes_template',
	function( $template_files ) {
		$template_files = array_filter(
			$template_files,
			function( $template ) {
				return ( 'front-page' !== $template['slug'] );
			}
		);
		return $template_files;
	},
	10,
	1
);

You might need to use a child theme, so the change will not be lost if there is an update.

@pradnyajegstudio another problem: in the mobile mode, the menu displays “Zeever.” I want to change the menu title to something else. Where on the dashboard do I go to make the change?

It’s a mobile logo. You can go to Appearance > Editor. Click on the navigation to see the option.

I am having the same issue, I want to create a mobile version of the home page, but the plugin i use creates a mobile version of a page, since the front page is a template i cannot use the current setup so i duplicated my homepage template as a page then set it to the homepage through settings>reading but the frontpage template is still showing, i tried the code above with no luck

Hi @kylemcfar5

Do you mean you need to have a different home page for desktop and mobile?

yes i need to have a different homepage for mobile, the plugin i used in the past would create a separate page for mobile, but it only works for static pages

Hi @kylemcfar5

We don’t have option to separate home page for desktop and mobile.
You might need another plugin that can do it with templates instead of pages.
