    Hello all. Trying to do something relatively simple (i think lol) in Metro Pro.

    I want the home page of my domain to be a landing page. So i want to set the front page to a "static page" which is a Page that i made and set the page template to "Landing Page".

    So when i preview the page it looks fine as a landing page. But when it is set to homepage (main domain name) the Header of the site shows up. I don't want the header of the site - I only want the landing page to show.

    So my question is how do i remove the header for the main domain name?

    Here is site: http://www.fashiontruckguide.com
    That is what I would ideally want for the landing page look but without the Header showing up. How do I get rid of that?

    The theme has a home page template called front-page.php. You would need to convert this template into a landing page.
    Or you could rename front-page.php, so WP no longer recognizes it as the front page template (back the file up in case you need it later). Then designate the landing page as the front page. To do this you would go to Settings->Reading->Front page displays and set the landing page as the "Front Page". The landing page being the page that has the landing page template applied to it.
