Hi kronos,

I had already found and read that article on wpsites.net, along with a few other articles. I was hoping that there was something I could simply change, or switch around, in the functions file.

I don’t want to put the post meta below the blog post. Just the Date and Byline placed below the title of the article.

Hi Wes, and a belated Happy New Year!

Just a note to let you know that I had to download a fresh copy of the Ambition theme. While I was able to remove the Blog section by using Customizer, that only removed a portion of it. I still had to edit the new front-page.php file (instead of the previous home.php) and use the code you provided above to remove the Blog Sidebar from the home page.

Terri

I suspected as much. I’m sure you can imagine me looking at your revised code and thinking; Where the heck is the EPIC line in this Ambition theme???

Oh wait… now your code is referring to the Aspire theme! Where did I get the Epic code from???

Since I rarely, if ever, use the Customizer that’s really a non-issue for me. And yes; I always run the latest version of WP and plugins.

So. How can I manually remove the blog section from the home page? Aside from not wanting the blog on the home page, it’s very awkward to navigate. If you click on “Next” to read the next post you’re taken to the top of the home page and then have to scroll all the way back down to get to the next post….and so on.

Hi Wes,

I wish I could see it there. That option is not listed in my settings. Another thing about that customizer is that I cannot use it to change background colors, and changing button/link colors only changes some of the button colors.

Here’s my list of options:

Site Identity
Responsive Header
Front Page Background Images
Colors
Header Image
Menus
Widgets
Static Front Page
Site Layout
Breadcrumbs
Comments and Trackbacks
Content Archives

Cancel that question regarding downsizing of the logo. I commented out:

/*.header-image .light .site-title > a {
height: 56px;
}*/

Thank you for the follow-up, Wes,

I’m so sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Between WooCommerce issues on another site (I HATE All Things Woo!!), a Google hack warning on yet another site, and 2 new sites to get launched this week, I’ve barely had time to eat/sleep. I’ve not had a chance to remove that line of code, and my client has not replied to any of my emails the past couple of weeks.

Will get back to this ASAP.

Terri

P.S.(And completely off topic) Can you recommend someone well versed in WooCommerce?

I did, yes. It now reads “Carols and Rady…” It’s in Front Page 2.

The padding in that solid section is fine. It’s the background image in Front Page 1 that becomes too long when viewing on iPhone, creating a large gap below the slider and above the headline in front page 2.

Just about every part of the home page, but mainly in 2 places. Is there a way I can send you a screenshot? If not, here are the 2 main sections that need adjusting on iPhone (at least on iPhone 6).

In the first section, directly below the slider, that space gets stretched way out so that you end up with a LOT of space/background image showing up below the “Dates: To be Announced” and “healing….”

In the section with “Carols by Candlelight Needs Donors…..” the title is too large. It looks like an 80pt font size. The content below that also looks doubled in size. Same for the font size in the “A Truly Unique Venue” section.

This isn’t the only responsive theme where I’ve run into fonts doubling in size when viewed on a smart phone. I’ve not been able to figure out how to keep the font sizes from doubling when viewed on smartphones.

Terri

Thank you, Eric. As it turned out, going with the manually entered content worked fine for this site.

Thank you, Wes!

Of course I have SquareOne! I think I may have purchased that one twice. I tend to purchase your themes for every site I use them on, as opposed to buying the theme once and putting it on more than one domain name.

I was about to go look at SquareOne to see if there was anything there that would clue me in has to how you have those 3 columns set up in the white space below the first image (Learn to attract new customers), with the buttons. Are you simply using a 3 column layout in a text widget? And what about those images?

I’m just about finished with this project already. All I need to do is that one section with the 3 columns. That’s one of the many things I love about your themes; I can handle those “I needed this new site to go live yesterday!” clients. The first time I used SquareOne, that entire project, from initial conversation to site launch, was completed in under 10 hours. I wish ALL of my projects were as easy!

Hi Wes,

I think the problem may be with the recommended image size for the logo.

I’m not using either one of those plugins, but the reload worked this time around. Didn’t work during previous attempts.

Terri

Thank you for getting Wes to remove the link. 🙂

Update: I regenerated the featured images in Media Library. That solved the problem without having to reupload the images.

Thanks, Eric! Hopefully, I will never need to do this again. 🙂
