"Sorry no posts match your criteria" on Home Page

That message appears when WordPress can’t find posts. But on the front page, that may be due to theme option that looks for posts from specific category that you haven’t populated yet.

In terms of removal, you would either have to generate a post that satisfies the query assuming you can do so in context with the page design. If not, you would need to dive into the theme file index.php on line: 42 to remove the code that looks for posts.

I really need more of a step by step guide. I tried changing the CSS and was unsuccessful. I cannot see an option for satisfying the post criteria. It is only appearing on my home page.

In terms of removal, you would have to create a post.
To write a post:

• Log in to your WordPress Administration Panel (Dashboard).
• Click the ‘Posts’ tab.
• Click the ‘Add New’ sub-tab.
• Start filling in the blanks: enter your post title in the upper field, and enter your post body content in the main post editing box below it.
• As needed, select a category, add tags, and make other selections from the sections below the post.
• When you are ready, click Publish.

Mahvash, thank you for the details but I don’t need to know how to write a post, I need know how to remove the “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” on my home page which is full of posts. Please view my site to see problem: https://absolutelytara.com

I will fix the issue in the future version. For now simply add the following code to your child theme’s style.css and it will hide “Sorry no posts match your criteria”.
