Reply To: Reposition 'Welcome Wide' widget area

It would be easier to leave the slider widget area blank, and remove any widgets you have inside of it. Then you’ll need to remove the extra space/padding that is left behind from the “.slider-inner” in your css.

You’ll also have 40px of margin-bottom under the .head-wrap. You’ll need this for other pages, but you can remove that space specifically on the homepage by adding this –

.home .head-wrap {
margin: 0;
}

That will remove it from the homepage only, since you’ll need that space for other pages.
