    Hello everyone. I'm currently using the eleven40 theme with the sidebar, content, sidebar template. I would like the homepage to be content, sidebar only while the rest of the theme remains the same. I've searched here for the solution but I couldn't find an answer. I have another question regarding the Page Title widget but I will leave that for another post.

    Can someone tell me how this is done?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, I know there is this function for "forcing" the home page layout. Try adding this to your functions.php file.

    add_filter('genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'custom_home_layout');
    function custom_home_layout($opt) {
        if ( is_home() )
        $opt = 'content-sidebar';
        return $opt;
    }

    Now... with all the new 2.0 stuff, I can't say for sure if this will work, but it used to.

    Thank you Anitac. I tried it on my test site which has the latest 2.0 updates and it worked like a charm.
