Remove blog from home page

If you go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Content Settings you’ll see the option to remove it from there.

Check out this recent Thread and let me know if you have the same issue – https://appfinite.com/topic/logo-pixelation/#post-18139 It may help with the Admin Privileges

Unfortunately I’m not sure what it could be, as I’ve never had that issue. I’ve always been able to access the Customizer.

The only thing I can recommend is to make sure you’re using the latest version of WP, and temporarily disabling some of your plugins to see if they are conflicting.

First take a look in the front-page.php file and remove this code in the aspire_front_page_genesis_meta section –

$journal = get_option( 'aspire_journal_setting', 'true' );

		if ( $journal === 'true' ) {

			//* Add opening markup for blog section
			add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'aspire_front_page_blog_open' );

			//* Add closing markup for blog section
			add_action( 'genesis_after_loop', 'aspire_front_page_blog_close' );

		} else {
		
			//* Force full width content layout
			add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

			//* Remove the default Genesis loop
			remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

			//* Remove .site-inner
			add_filter( 'genesis_markup_site-inner', '__return_null' );
			add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content-sidebar-wrap_output', '__return_false' );
			add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content', '__return_null' );
			remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );

		}

Then scroll near the bottom and remove this code –

//* Add opening markup for blog section
function aspire_front_page_blog_open() {

	$journal_text = get_option( 'aspire_journal_text', __( 'Latest From the Blog', 'aspire' ) );
	
	if ( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {

		echo '<div id="journal" class="widget-area"><div class="wrap">';

		if ( ! empty( $journal_text ) ) {

			echo '<h2 class="widgettitle widget-title journal-title">' . $journal_text . '</h2><hr>';

		}

	}

}

//* Add closing markup for blog section
function aspire_front_page_blog_close() {

	if ( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) {

		echo '</div></div>';

	}

}

Then ADD this code inside the same section where you removed the first block of code in the aspire_front_page_genesis_meta section –

//* Force full width content layout
				add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
	
				//* Remove the default Genesis loop
				remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
				
				//* Remove .site-inner
				add_filter( 'genesis_markup_site-inner', '__return_null' );
				add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content-sidebar-wrap_output', '__return_false' );
				add_filter( 'genesis_markup_content', '__return_null' );
				remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );

Ah, I thought you were using the Aspire theme this whole time lol. I posted the wrong code…..Although, I will be adding this code to the Ambition theme, so eventually the code will be the same.

Give me a sec and let me pull up the right code to remove.

No you’re right the code I first posted was originally from the Epik theme. I just grabbed the code from it since I’m currently working on an update for it. I edited the comment right after so it wouldn’t seem confusing, but then I realized you’re using the Ambition theme 🙂

Eventually that code above will be added in the Ambition theme so that users will have the option to turn the blog on and off with one click.

For now, with the version you’re using you can edit your front-page.php file by first changing this –

//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

To this –

//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Then add this right under the code above –

//* Remove the default Genesis loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

Finally, change the margin-top in your CSS to 0. It may be around line 655 in your CSS depending on whether you’ve made adjustments to it or not.

.front-page .site-container .site-inner {
	margin-top: 0;
	overflow: hidden;
}

Let me know if that helps.

Yes for that one specific option, but the other options of the Customizer should still be available.

The updated version will be available sometime this week.
