Hello,

If I have the ‘Static Front Page’ enabled to show a static page, how do I change where it appears in relation to the other display areas on the front page?

By default it appears just above the footer and below all the different featured content sections. I would like for it to appear higher, below the Feature Slider but above the other sections.

An other option might be to disable this page somehow, and instead just use the Hero Content section.

Thanks!

Hi Mat,
For first option, you will need to create a child theme. Its instructions are here: http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

If you are comfortable with this, I will provide you further solution. Just let me know.

For second solution, just add following in Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add following coed to hide page content:

.home #content {
    display: none;
}

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you, I have used the custom CSS to disable the page and it works well.

Hello,

I have exact the same question, rearranging the order of the “feature-sections” on the front page.

I have already created a child-theme and everything works fine (I use the theme parallax frame but I guess the general way to to rearrange the order of the sections on the front page is the same as with the other themes, isn`t it).

So far I couldn´t figure out which file is doing the front page structure…

Thanks for any assistance
Best
John

Hi @spot0608,
To rearrange the frontpage sections, you need to do things a bit differently. Let me know your site url and the order of the sections and I will provide you with the codes.

Hi Pratik,

thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately the page is not available on a public server yet. I just downloaded and installed the theme on my local server as a draft and activated all the frontpage sections with demo content. So the current order is the one from the installed original parallax frame like

1) Featured Slider
2) Hero Content
3) Header Highlight Content
4) Portfolio
5) Featured Content
6) Promotion Headline
7) Logo Slider
8) Static Front Page Content

I would like to have “Promotion Headline” on Position 3 or 4 and the “Static Front page content” on Position 4 or 5 so that for example the “Logo slider” is the last section.

Is there a file in which the order of the front page sections is set?

Thanks a lot
John

HI @spot0608,

Here is what you need to do.
1. First move Featured Content To bottom. For that, goto Appearance=> Customize=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Options and check Check to Move above Footer option
2. Add function given here: http://pastebin.com/N826Eimi in your child theme’s functions.php file

This should achieve what you want. Please note the comment blocks and remove the unnecessary lines as I have given you solutions for Promotion Headline for both 3 and 4.

This should achieve following:
1) Featured Slider
2) Hero Content
3) * Promotion Headline
4) Header Highlight Content
5) * Promotion Headline
6) Portfolio
7) Static Front Page Content
8) Featured Content
9) Logo Slider

Hi Pratik,

thanks a lot, this really helps.
One more question. Is it possible to move the “Static Front Page Content” higher than Position7? Like on Position 3 or 4? Means above Portfolio or “Header Highlight content”?

Thanks
John

Hi @spot0608,
Yes it is possible. For that you need to move all other contents below the Static Front Page.
I have edited the function I provided you earlier. Please try the new one.

Pratik
