  The EDIN Theme demo (http://edindemo.wordpress.com), seems to show in the Front page a combination of it’s Front Page Template and Grid Page Template (https://wordpress.com/themes/edin/).

  However the Front Page Template doesn’t show me that option!

  In my site I only could get the big leading image with text, but not the three optional featured page areas, nor the three optional widget areas.

  Who do I get these?
  Thanks!

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

  Got it.

  The option to customize the three optional featured page areas for the front page is under:

  Customize > Theme Options

  The three optional widget areas for the front page:

  Customize > Widgets: Front Page One / Two / Three

  It would be more logical to have them under

  Customize > Static Front Page
  or
  Customize > Front Page Options

  my 2 cents!

  Having the same issue, what widget did you use to get the picture and short written description like they have on the demo?

  Hi Elingoldman,

  For the description (About), you can use the text widget.
  For the map and address I guest you have to install some other plugging…

  Let me know what you find out!

  Hey Mixamli,

  What I did was insert an image widget in the widget section of the front page and “stacked” them so it’s 3 long x 2 images high.

  I inserted the URL of the page I wanted you to go to into the image widget as well.

  My site isn’t done but check it our at http://elingoldman.wordpress.com/ if you’d like.
