    hi everyone,
    That’s my first post on this forum, i wish I’ll be able to help too in the future.

    I building a counseling theme, i have a page as static index, several other pages and a news section that will contain all posts.

    I am trying to figure out how to add just to the home page some custom boxes like “our services” “who we are” etc. more or less like those:
    LINK 1
    LINK 2

    The boxes should be visible only from the home page.
    I thought I can copy and rename a page.php and personalize with a new sidebar, sounds doable?
    Inside each box (I’m thinking at 3 boxes) I can select which page to link and put the excerpt to keep it easily editable by the administrators.

    Do there is another way to achieve that, like by plugin?

    Thank you

    I think this would be the way to go – don’t know of a plugin solution – unless you wanted to use a slider

    thank you, I didn’t deal with custom pages before.
    So that’s what I did:
    1 – I made a copy of pages.php (cause my index is a static page)
    2 – I selected the custom template from the dropdown menu right after the page editor
    3 – I added 3 new sidebars from funcions.php and then put the code in the new template to show the new widgets
    4 – I updated the css

    happy ??
