Page with widgets only
  • Hi Emil

    I have been reading your very informative forum all day today and I really appreciate the way you explain things. I have already found so many things that I have been looking for, its just that I want to put 2 or 3 things together in one page.

    I want to have a page that has the header logo and the sidebar, but is filled only with widgets. Something like http://www.blogenbois.fr/ have done for the frontpage - homepage.

    I have read your post on how to fill the page with numerous widgets, and also the post on how to remove the Call to Action and Picture on homepage - but the thing is I want to keep all these elements for my homepage - I just want an additional page with only widgets to show my projects !!!

    How can I achieve this? Can I save the home page as a template - as I might need that page for quite a lot of pages. If I can save it as a template, then what would be the best way to do it.

    Thanks
  • You can achieve this easily. Use http://themeid.com/forum/topic/505/child-theme-example/ or add the following to your Custom Styles in Theme Options:
    #featured {
        display:none;
    }
    

    now just keep on adding more widgets and that's all.

    It's me again. I am trying to add the lines that you gave me - I found themes options in my includes file, there is a CSS, a PHP and JS file. The CSS has a grid and a lot of column numbers, and the PHP has a lot of info.

    I am not very sure in which file I should include this information.

    Please tell .....

    Thanks

  • Theme Options from Appearance > Theme Options not the actual file. :P

  • Hi Emil

    Ok so I got the point. I loaded the Child theme and then I went to the theme options section and added in the code - and guess what - the feature area disappeared on the homepage and I only had the widgets.

    What I was trying to say is that on my home page I WANT the featured option but I want to make another page with only widgets in it. Like a blog page but filled with widgets.

    Any suggestions :)
