  Hi Anna,

  Try this:
  1. Assign the Front Page template to the static front page. See the Template section of the Page Options support page for instructions.

  2. At Customize > Theme Options > Title > Background, add an image. With the template set at Front Page, it won’t show the feature image set at the page editor. You’ve got to add it here.

  This will remove the page title, the gray line below the title, and the white background below the feature image. It also removes the links (page title and Read more) presently overlaying the featured image.

  I may have misunderstood. What is it that you want changed? What do you mean by “a text on top?” Do you want the text “Accent the Beauty of the Sound,” which is the title of the static front page, to appear over its featured image as it is now? If so, then don’t follow the instructions I provided above. Also, what is meant by “No posts options?”

  Hi!
  Thank you so much for your reply. I managed to change that setting but I have one more thing that I’d like to change as well.
  On my webpage, let’s say I click “About” I have “About” written overplayed on the photo and the text “Read more” with it, right? And below the word “About” repeats itself. I’d like to be able to have just my text there without the word “About”. Is it possible? Or if it has to stay could I have the 2nd “About” to be a different word or text? Because now it’s somehow linked and when I change one the other changes automatically.
  Thanks for your help so much one more time ;)

  “About” is the page title. You could hide the page title but it would require CSS customization. To request help with that I suggest that you either submit a separate topic to the CSS Customization support forum, or add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention.

  Or if it has to stay could I have the 2nd “About” to be a different word or text? Because now it’s somehow linked and when I change one the other changes automatically.

  The two Abouts aren’t really linked, but they are both the title of the same page. Since a single page can have only one title, normally, to change one of these two instances of the same title would again require CSS customization.
