You need to create a landing page template if your theme doesn't already have one. It's just like adding any other page. A landing page template simply removes the standard page structure as in the following example.

<?php
/**
 * This file adds the Landing template to the Outreach Pro Theme.
 *
 * @author StudioPress
 * @package My Template Name
 * @subpackage Customizations
 */

/*
Template Name: Landing
*/

//* Add custom body class to the head
add_filter( 'body_class', 'my_template_add_body_class' );
function my_template_add_body_class( $classes ) {

   $classes[] = 'my_template-landing';
   return $classes;
   
}

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

//* Remove site header elements
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header', 10 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 );

//* Remove navigation
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );

//* Remove breadcrumbs
remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

//* Remove sub-footer widgets
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_sub_footer', 5 );

//* Remove site footer widgets
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

//* Remove site footer elements
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15 );

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

Thank you Victor. So from this landing page, I just have link back to the original/ current front page? Without having to screw up the current structure? 🙂 Thanks again.

Your wouldn't put the link in the template, you would add it to your page content.

HI Victor,

I just came across this as need to create a landing page, full width to use both as an inner site page to use as my static homepage instead of posts page.

What do I create / replicate your php code above in - notepad ++ and then save as .php and upload via ftp? I am assuming I could just copy a full-with php file from another theme like parallax pro though.

Thanks!

You copy that code into a text editor and save it as page-landing.php. FTP into your site and save the file in your child theme directory.

Using this as an inner page may not produce the results you desire. BY default, landing pages do not have headers or menus. When used as an inner page, if anyone visits the page, make sure they have a way to return to your site.

Thanks Victor for this. I guess what I wish for is a full width page in my theme - Simply Pro - so I'll need to replicate that php file and force full width.

Thanks again for your help.
