  I have a static front page. One a separate page I have a section called Meet the Farmers. The info on that page shows not only there but also on the static front page. How do I confine this info to only it’s designated page and not share it to the front page?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Volunteers cannot view private blogs and we Volunteers do not request access to them. Staff can view private blog content and this thread is tagged for their assistance. However, it is a weekend so be patient while waiting for a response and subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hi there,

  The three items you have listed under the Meet the Farmers heading in your menu are blog posts, and you have one of the front page featured sections on your theme set to display your blog posts. If you don’t want your posts to show on your front page you need to unselect that option.

  Click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Click on Theme Options. Select a different option under From Page Featured Section Three.

  Thank you. That fixed my problem. I now have another issue I’d like help with. Under the Meet the Farmers heading I want pages dedicated to each farmer. I would like that information only in that section however the info is also showing when I click the Blog heading. I’ve been told that the farmer pages I added are blog posts. What do I need to do to put them under the Meet the Farmer section and have the information only in that section and not showing under Blog as well? Make them pages rather than posts? Thanks in advance for your help.

  I see you figured out how to replace those posts with pages. Excellent :)

  Just something else I noticed: you have your site set to private at the moment, meaning only you and people you invite as viewers can see it. But you also have your posts set to private. Private posts can ONLY be viewed by admins on the site, so if you want viewers to be able to see those you need to set them to public. The site as a whole is already private, so you don’t need to set individual posts as private as well.
