show content between slider and home widgets

[Alice Frenz]

Hi Bill,

I want to display full-width page content on my home page between the header/slider area and the widgets. When I select the Home Page template, I like the widgets displayed across the bottom, but my page content disappears. I want both the full-width content area and the widgets to display below it.

Thanks, Alice Frenz

Hello Alice,

You can do that with just a bit of editing. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose page-home.php and find this spot:

   
   <?php if(is_active_sidebar( 'home' )) { ?>
   

3. Right above that paste this:

   
   Make sure to copy that code from the support site and not the notification email.

4. Save your changes.
5. Next go to the Theme Options page and select the Styling tab. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

   
   #home-content {
   	padding: 30px;
   }
   

6. Update your settings.

That should add in the ability to include content on your home page. If you run into any trouble, let me know.

Have a great day,
Bill
