Widget / Page Customization

[cobus]

Hi, Thank you in advance for any assitance.

I have no tech skills for starters.

Is there a way you can load the widget areas that is only available on the home screen onto another page?

My goal is to create a"landing page" like thank you page and the widget that comes with the theme will help allot.

If not how do I go about creating a full page thank you page similar to a one page landing page?

Does your theme have a landing page template? Normally you would just create a page and assign the template to it. If your theme doesn't have a landing page template, you could either copy one from another Studio Press theme and edit it for your purposes. Or, if you want to use widgets, copy your theme's front-page.php and create a template out of it, then assign it as the template for a normal WordPress page.

Since you admit to being a beginner, maybe you should look for a landing page plugin, or lastly, hire a developer that can help you. It shouldn't take long to create the template you want, maybe just an hour or two. I always encourage you to try to edit these things on your own, but because you are new to this, it could get frustrating quickly. If you make the slightest error editing PHP, you will bring down your site.

Thank you so much for the reply.

It does include a landing page template, but it is not full screen, it's basically narrower and has no widget areas to add widgets. I am looking to put up a full page background image with writing on and some social buttons and recent articles links!

With this site, I am using atmosphere! But I do see the same problem with other themes as well! Is there a landing page you would recommend from the other themes?

About copying the front-page.php, is it as straightforward as copying the file and renaming it or can you point me in a direction to see how it can be done to turn it into a template? Also will that template then work only on that specific page I presume and not on the others?

I have looked for plugins and there are not any good ones or let me say free ones that are any good. Launchrock and Instapage looks great to use but I am not a fan of a monthly reoccurring cost!

I think I will try and have a go, I have come this far already on my own so I might just go all the way, If you could just point me to the material where I can learn what I need to do.

Again, I appreciate the help and your time!

Regards
