I was not asking for “free code”, I was asking for a solution to a problem I know I am not alone in sharing that has not been adequately or concisely answered from the perspective of someone who is learning and new to wordpress. I only posted here after spending 2 days researching first. Had I known the support forums were only meant for seasoned experts such as yourself, I would have sought assistance elsewhere. The only silver lining here is at least others who may be new to wordpress and mistakenly seek help in these forums may find this information useful.

after several days of reading I have found a solution for anyone looking to achieve multiple blog entries from different categories posted in different areas of your static home page (I’m using twenty seventeen).

Solution:

-access via FTP your page’s host and navigate to /wp-content/themes/(your theme)
-copy any php file and rename it loop.php
-paste in the following code after first clearing anything that was in the file:

<?php
/**
 * Just displays a post loop. Intended to be included in child themes using get_template_part('loop'). Also works with SiteOrigin page builder loop widget.
 *
 * Loop Name: Blog Loop
 *
 * @package vantage
 * @since vantage 1.0
 * @license GPL 2.0
 */
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

	<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php the_content(); ?>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php //vantage_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

<?php endif ; ?>

-using the plugin ‘page builder’ from site-origin drop the widget called ‘post loop’ into any page on your static home page and configure it as needed (it’s pretty self explanatory).

Hope this helps!
