Education Pro – how to eliminate blog on home page

[rburgett]

I am using the education Pro theme and want to get rid of the blog posts at the bottom of the page and have no clue what to do.
I'm also using the Userpro plugin to have a separate set of pages for members only, including a member's only homepage, on which I would like to keep the blog posts as they are on the current home page. This way the bog is for members only.
I am not programmer so if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm not a coder and this is my first WordPress site.

Hi there. A simple way to remove the blog posts is to go into the file front-page.php, and add the below code directly above the line genesis();

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	remove_all_actions( 'genesis_loop' );

Note that this just removes the blog posts from the front page. If anyone has the permalink to any of your blog posts, they'll be able to view it, regardless of whether they're a registered member.

Carlo,

Thank you for responding. When I add that code, it breaks the page and nothing displays but an error.
To be clear, the fron-page.php that I edited is located in /public_html/wp-content/themes/education-pro. Is that correct?
I copied and pasted your code above the genesis(); line, which was the last line in the file.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the blog feed from the bottom of the home page?

@rburgett - Please follow the first part of this tutorial. Do not add the code genesis() thst is included in the snippet from the tutorial.

This leaves the front/home page with a blank section called "site-inner". You can hide this by adding the following CSS Code to the bottom of your child theme stylesheet.

.home .site-inner {display: none;}

@Tom - Thank you for responding. I read the page that you linked and then did a search on the server for home.php and unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere.
Now what do I do?

[Tom]

The Education Pro file you are looking for isfront-page.php.

This is in the child theme root folder:
wp-content/themes/education-pro/

style.css will also be found in this folder.

I was looking for the same thing. Tom this code worked like a charm above the last line genesis(); in the front-page.php

/** Removing Blog Post From Home Page */
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

genesis();
