Outreach Pro – remove home page widgets

[mikep]

I just installed outreach pro.

I want to remove from just the home page the footer and subfooter widgets.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

WordPress Appearance/Widgets page. Delete the widgets from the respective widget areas.

Thanks Victor but the problem is that the Footer and Subfooter widgets are programmed into all of the pages. If I remove them they via widgets screen they disappear from all of the pages. I just want them removed from the homepage.

You'll have to edit front-page.php. Please post a link to your site.

Add a conditional after the function name

if ( is_front_page() )
    return;

Brad,
Thank you very much for your reply. Your solution works perfectly for eliminating the sub-footer on outreach pro. However the 4-column footer remains. A little further down the functions.php file I find this:

//* Add support for 4-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 4 );

The syntax is different than the subfooter syntax so I'm not sure how to make it work for the footer as well.
