Hello everyone,

I have two questions. I hope someone can help me.

1.) I tried to make a static page (Home) that shows the recent 5 blog posts. I tried a few solutions now but it didn’t work.
I don’t want to use the implemented function “static homepage > show recent posts” because it will always have a sidebar.
Can somebody please explain me how to do it?

2.) Is there a way to make the blank space between slider and content disappear?
(image for better understanding: Imgur.com)

Thanks in advance & Greetings

Hi Lars,

1. Static page (home) with 5 recent posts:
If just sidebar is the problem, you can change the layout and use no-sidebar layout. For that, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Layout Options and select No Sidebar (Full Width) option in Default Layout drop-down and click Save & Publish.

2. Make the blank space between slider and content disappear:
Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

Mahesh

Thanks for your reply!

I think I expressed myself wrong. I know there is an option to disable the sidebar for the blog site. But blog-site =/= home-page

I want a Blog site with sidebar and no sidebar on the home-page (two different pages). The home-page should only display my 5 recent blog posts with no sidebar.

Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

#feature-slider {

}

Thanks! Works as intended!
