    That's already done.. I've set the "home" page as my static home page. But it add 2 widget on the page & remove all the text in the page itself.

    If I change the static home page for another one, it does the same... content is removed & all text/image on the page disapear ?

    There are several home page widgets.

    Which ones did you want to remove?

    I want to remove them all :

    Home-Top
    Home-Call to action
    Home-Middle

    I just want the home page to be a standard page I can edit....

    You can select a static page as your front page in the Reading Settings

    Or you could simply remove the home or front-page.php file from your child theme or the code from either of these files depending on which child theme you are using.

    In fact, the "static page" choice is the problem. It seems that whatever page you choose as the static home page, the theme add 3 widget (top, cta & middle) on the page.

    I wasn't able to remove it in the front-page.php file... got a server error so I guess I'm doing something wrong.
