Removing 'recent posts' from the home page
-
Hi, I am using the free WordPress site with Ixion theme, and I’d like to find a way of removing the Recent Posts list on the home page, but don’t see a way of doing that.
I’ve made the Home page a Static page and my posts page ‘latest news’. But recent posts still appear at the bottom.
I have a hunch I won’t be able to change this using the free WP platform but if anyone has any tricks here, please let me know!
The site is economicjusticeproject.wordpress.com
Many thanks in advance.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Latest News item in you footer is a widget, so you can edit it as @nizamilputra described.
The other section (on the left, middle of the page) entitled Recent Posts can’t be removed, except with Custom CSS, part of a Premium Plan or Business Plan.
If you were to remove it, you’d end up with a bit of an empty space – or you could make your About Us and Resources widgets really wide, which might not look as good!

Hi staff-loquaciousloon
Many thanks – yep the widget with Latest News I put there myself, hoping to get rid of the larger Recent posts section that appears in the middle of the home page, but the more i looked i realised it was probably part of that theme that i could only change with css.
I will work around it – thanks again for responding, it was helpful!

Hi I have chosen the ‘Dara’ design theme but my blog aladiesheart.com doesn’t have this format. the blog posts are all displayed on the front page and i would like it displayed like the theme selected. What do I do?

Hi @aladiesheart,
All you need is changing the front-page settings. You can access it on My Sites – Customize – Static Front Page. For the details please check https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
