Beautiful-pro Hide home page content area

[SGTech]

As you can see on my site: http://www.behindthepaintthemovie.com I am using just the Welcome Message widget and a background image to make up my home page. However, down below where the homepage content would normally be, it leaves a BIG whitespace.

How can I remove the content area where the homepage content would normally be?

Thanks.

Scott.

The reason you have a blank space is because the welcome message is positioned relative at a negative 680px. This is causing an empty space at the bottom. I assume you added this additional styling yourself.

welcome-message {
    position: relative;
    top: -680px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    z-index: 200;
}

I think blog posts will appear at the bottom of the home page with this particular theme. You can remove them by adding the following line of code to a front-page.php template. Or should be able to add it to the conditional statement that outputs the welcome message.

//* Remove the default Genesis loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
