    How do I use the front page widgets in Digital Pro Theme in internal pages.

    There are three default widget areas for the front page in Digital Pro (Front Page 1, 2, 3). I've added one more (duplicated Front Page 3 and called it Front Page 4).

    Now, I want to have make my internal pages just like the front page. How do I go about it? Any pointers?

    Thanks

    Hi Salman,

    To replicate the look of the homepage, you need to create a page template.

    Inside the page template call your widget areas.

    That should get you started ... !

    How do I create a new page template that mimics the homepage? Copying code from front-page.php will do it? What else should I take care of?

    I duplicated the home page layout in an internal page too. Everything's working fine except for the main background image. That's not showing up. Any pointers?

    Where does the home page php file pick up the Front Page 1 widget area image and its layout from? I think there's some javascript code involved, but I'm not able to figure out what exactly.

    The homepage image handled by the theme customizer , also check what scripts are being loaded on the front-page.php, you will need them as well 🙂

    Couldn't figure it out. A full-width outstretched image like in the homepage would've been ideal, but I've decided to just go with a regular image for now. Just added an tag in the text widget.

    I figured it out, but still decided to go with a regular image. That looks better for an internal page.

    The column text widgets aren't responsive though. They're appearing as columns no matter what size the screen is (as opposed to being stacked one above the other).

    It works perfectly in the home page.
