Remove blog entries from home page of Going Green Pro

[AliKK]

Hi there,

There's probably a better way to do this, but, for now, I'm interested in removing the blog from the home page.

Site is here:

I know I could just assign a different page, but I'm not sure how I would make the picture take up the entire space without affecting other pages...so I think this is the easiest solution. Maybe.

You could create a home.php to use a widgetized homepage instead of showing posts. There are a number of tutorials out there, or you could grab a home.php from another child theme and customize it.

The site is gorgeous, by the way! I love the way it looks.

Thanks so much for the replies. My issue is primarily that there is no home.php file to edit. I have functions, landing-page, and the css. I don't know if this is a new thing with the Going Green Pro...BUT, in the past I've just been able to edit home.php (as suggested in the blog post). Now I'm at a loss. Thanks!

I am working on a widget home page for Going Green Pro as well. I took a copy of front-page.php (instead of home.php) from Lifestyle Pro, it works, I registered the widget areas in the functions file and my widgets are showing up.

However I get into problems if I try to rename the child theme info in the page.

such as - add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'going-green_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
* Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
*
*/

function going_green_home_genesis_meta() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-right' ) ) {

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

// Add going-green-pro-home body class
add_filter( 'body_class', 'going-green_body_class' );

// Remove the default Genesis loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

// Add homepage widgets
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'going-green_homepage_widgets' );

}
}

I get this error -
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'going-green_home_genesis_meta' was given in /home/content/68/8481068/html/karson/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 429

I have tried it many, many ways and unless I have lifestyle instead of going-green, there is an error code and the widgets disappear. There must be some way to name this to match the theme, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Would love some help.

Hi dreamdancer, Did you get this to work, I am trying to do the same thing. Actually, first I used a static page as the Home page and tried using column classes, but for a few reasons much rather have widgets on the Home page, so I'm trying for the second time to do this, and running into same problem you are having.

Hi Helen, I thought I could send a private message, but this board doesn't do that. Here is a link to download my two custom files. https://files.secureserver.net/0sMQ2qknUJeuIg

There is the front-page.php with a few widget spots, and the functions.php that registers the sidebars.
here is some home page CSS also:

/* Home*/
.home-middle .featuredpost img {
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-right: 2rem;
}

.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right {
width: 332px;
}

.home-bottom-left {
float: left;
}

.home-bottom-right {
float: right;
}

h2,
.home-top .entry-title {
font-size: 24px;
font-size: 2.4rem;
font-family: 'Lora', serif;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
}

.home .entry-content {
margin-left: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1268px)
.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2,
.footer-widgets-3, .home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right,
.sidebar-primary {
width: 260px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1023px)
.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right {
width: 332px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 834px)
.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right,
.five-sixths,
.four-sixths,
.one-fourth,
.one-half,
.one-sixth,
.one-third,
.three-fourths,
