All pages like home

[familiehunden]

Hello group.

I just bought a new theme, Epik. At first glance i thought it looked amazing. I thought i could have the entire site like this.

Then i discovered what i fell for was the homepage - the rest of the pages was more "normal"

I really would like to get the same design on my static pages, as the homepage. That is full with and widgets in the main contents.

this is a demo of the theme : http://my.studiopress.com/themes/epik/#demo-full

I would like to ask you, is there a good and effektive way to accomplish this on other pages as well? Will this slow down the site and be bad for SEO?

I would greatly appreciate help on this one.. thanks in advance.

If you used widgets and publish hundreds of posts, you will need hundreds of widgets so you need another solution.

Custom fields.

Custom fields are already included in WordPress and enable your to add unique content to every page and post without adding widgets.

You would need a page template coded so your content displays full width exactly like the Epic themes front page.

Thanks for reply!

I understand widgets is not the correct way to go..

But i did not understand Custom fields. Could custom fields be added as "boxes", like on the homepage?

Would that be as responsive as the homepage- theme to?

And, is there a better themes that already handle this?

I think (maybe?) this is something you could do with the Divi theme by Elegant Themes. (Of course I could be wrong.)

Yes, boxes. What you need is a template coded with custom fields and meta boxes which replace the widget areas.

Mody, that was really a nice theme! Sections, that must be exactly what i need. It looks very nice, but how would this make regarding seo? Will text in sections become as "ordinary" text on static page?

it looks really nice, thanks a lot 🙂

I think this must be a lot easier than custom fields.

Once you code the template with custom fields, its simply a matter of selecting it from any page edit screen and adding your content to each box not unlike Divi.

Genesis is far easier to customize than Divi.

@familiehunden I don't know much about how Divi is for SEO, but if you Google it, I'm sure you can find out. It's a very popular theme, and great for non-coders to set up page layouts.

If you are familiar with html and css..

1 Remove in functions.php 'inner' under this line of code

//* Add support for structural wraps
add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array(
'header',
'nav',
'subnav',
'Inner' <-------------------------------- (Remove)
'footer-widgets',
'footer',

2 Go to your page and use the classes of the home page

<div class='welcome'>

<div class="welcome-wide">
<div class="wrap">Block 1</div>
</div>
<div class="welcome-features">
<div class="wrap">Block 2</div>
</div>
<div class="home-feature-bg-alt hf1"> (block 3)
<div class="wrap">PBlock 3</div>
</div>
<div>

</div>
p.m if you need help
