    I am trying to set up this theme on my blog account. I am trying to set up a static main page so that I can have the top content block along with the other content blocks. I have followed the setup instructions METICULOUSLY and it does not work. I am not getting the top content block or any content block to appear how it does in the preview. Please help and PLEASE do not give me the link to the setup instructions because I have already gone through those.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello aoijacob, here’s how to get the look of the homepage as shown in the demo:

    1. Create a page (not post), add some content and set a featured image. Now, in the sidebar, Page Attributes > Page Template > select “Front Page”. Publish the page.

    2. Again, create a page titled “Blog” and publish it without any content.

    3. Visit theme customizer. Then select “Homepage Settings”. Under “Your homepage displays” select “A static page”. Now, under “Homepage,” select the page you created in the first step, and under “Posts page” select the one you created in the second step.

    4. To add the content blocks on the homepage, visit Theme Customizer > Theme Options > Front Page. Select the pages you’d like to show and then publish the changes.

    Hope this helps. For any further questions, let us know.
