How to hide the home page – Executive Pro

[GoodCat206]

I'd like to hide the home page and use the latest blog posts option, not another page ... can't figure out how to do this in the reading settings. Seems like my only choice is another page. Theme is Executive Pro.

So you've set the front page to display latest posts, right?

You may also need to rename the front-page.php page to something like z_front-page.php ... I hesitate to tell you to delete it 🙂

You got it! ... if I wanted to delete it, I wouldn't be asking this question!

How do I rename the front-page.php page?
I know there's an easy way to do this ... I saw it once and forgot.

Many thanks!

When I hesitated to suggest you delete the file, I was referring to the possibility that you may want it back again at some point in the future 🙂

The easiest way to handle files in WordPress is to use FTP software ... the digital window to your server's WordPress soul 🙂

FileZilla is as good a choice as any.

Having said all that, if you have access to Appearance -> Editor - and I really don't recommend this approach - then you could modify front-page.php so that

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'executive_home_genesis_meta' );

becomes

//add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'executive_home_genesis_meta' );

That will at least remove your showstopping blocker 🙂
