  Hi guys,

  I am using the HERO theme and on my front static page, I have three Home Promos. How can I change it from three to more? Possibly six or even nine? I post a lot of film reviews and I’d like for viewers to be able to see more than just three. Is this possible? Thank you all.

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

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, the Hero theme only allows 3 Promotional Callouts as seen on their support page here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/hero/

  Promotional Callouts: Under ‘Home Promos’ in the Customizer, choose a tag name from the dropdowns for the promo areas. Tag posts with these tags to have them show up in the three callout areas

  .

  If you need more than three you may need to look at a new theme. I found a few that may be of interest to you:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/expound/

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/chronicle/

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/itheme2/

  If you aren’t happy with those, take a look here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  Also take a look at the theme’s support page for more information!

  I have another question about my Home Promos. Since I am reviewing movies, I have a tagline in the beginning and then go into my review but I’d like the three Home Promos on the Home page to just read the tagline, instead of including the beginning of the review along with the star rating I give every movie.

  How can I just have the tagline appear under the image in the Home Promos? Thank again for your help.

  You can do this by entering what you want viewed in the Preview as an Excerpt. Take a look at the guide for more information.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
