First take a look here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/ to make sure your homepage is setup properly.
Then take a look at the sticky posts at the top of the Epik forum located here – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ I’ve added the exact code that I’ve used in the demo. You don’t have to use that exact code to get the page setup, all you have to do is add widgets in the home widget areas and they’ll show up.
