Homepage demo configuration

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have the YT Shortcode generator installed.

I have also watched the screencast numerous times but it appears to not be based on the demo. I created this:

[row]

[column class=" col-md-6"][post_list title=”Business” cat=”17″ tags=”” count=”6″ exclude_format=”” order=”DESC” orderby=”date” time_period=”default” show_icon=”true” show_cat=”true” show_date=”true”][/column]

[column class=" col-md-6"][post_list title=”” style=”mixed” cat=”41″ tags=”” count=”6″ exclude_format=”” order=”DESC” orderby=”date” time_period=”default” show_icon=”true” show_cat=”true” show_date=”true”][/column]

[/row]

But I do not want two columns.

I just want one column with large images and the excerpt text (exactly like in your demo). Can you provide directions so I can achieve the demo look?

@jacob, thanks for the clarification.

The documentation section 2.5, says:

You can easily use a static page as a homepage . just go to Settings -> Reading. in this case, we choose Blog for posts page and leave Front page blank, save settings and now Blog page will be both Home Page and Posts page. (this step is important for users who using 3rd plugins that work on Main Loop (Posts page and Archive Page) only such as JetPack Infinite scroll.

If I use: “Front page displays Your latest posts” then I get the articles showing as in the demo but not the hero banner.

If I use: “A static page” then I get the hero banner showing as in the demo but not the articles.

Can you please be more specific?

Hi @Maxxi, the problem is that I then get the hero banner showing but not the articles. How can I get both?
