    I would like to change my front page from all the categories to just a one page.

    I went to Settings - Readings to change it to a static page - and selected the page but it will not show it - the categories show up.

    Do I need to go and remove the categories from the widgets before it will show up?

    If you have widgets in any of the "home" widget areas, your home page will show those widgets.

    Yes.

    Instead of deleting them, drag each widget to "Inactive Widgets."
