  I’m trying to use the Blask theme. The theme demo shows 3 column of posts on homepage but in my own site it only shows 1 column on homepage. It’s pretty annoying that the demo is not the same as the product – could anyone help??

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

  Hi there,

  The link below has a very detailed instruction on how to setup the Blask theme using the portfolio as your homepage.
  https://wordpress.com/theme/blask

  The problem you have right now is you created individual blog posts instead of adding them as projects into your portfolio. So the first thing you have to do is adding projects into portfolio.

  How to add project into your portfolio:
  1) Adding a new project by clicking the ADD button right next to Portfolio
  2) For each project, you can add title, description and media.
  3) Remember to set a featured image for each project. This is probably the most important step if you want to have portfolio page as your homepage just like the demo.
  4) Publish

  Once you are done with adding all your projects, you need to create a blank page set to the portfolio page template:
  1) Creating a new page by clicking the ADD button right next to Site Pages.
  2) For the title you can name it Home Portfolio or anything you like.
  3) Click on Page Attributes on the right panel. On the drop down menu under Page Template, select “Portfolio Page Template”
  4) Publish

  Now, all you have to do is to set your homepage to the new blank page you’ve just created
  1) Click on Customize
  2) Click on Homepage Settings
  3) Make sure “A Static Page” is selected under Your homepage display
  4) On the drop down menu under Homepage, select the blank page you just created.
  5) Publish

  I hope this helps you.
