Hi there,
I see that you have already set up a page as a static homepage. Do you still need help with that?

Yes, I want to set up the static homepage of DARA theme instead of existing one. I can’t make it. Thanks for your reply!

Hi there,
I’m afraid I don’t understand.
You currently have the page titled 簡介 set as your front page. To have that page appear like the Dara demo, you need to follow the setup instructions in https://wordpress.com/theme/dara to finish setting up that page.
To add the slider to that page, you need to publish some posts with featured images, and apply the “featured” tag to those posts. At the moment you have no posts published on your site, which is why you don’t see the slider.
Likewise to display testimonials on the front page testimonial section, you need to publish some testimonials on your site first. At the moment you have none.
And lastly, to have it display featured pages, you have to assign those pages from within the Customizer. Go to My Site ->Design ->Customize ->Theme Options. You can assign the featured pages there.

Thank you for your reply! I can make the slider but it can’t be slide automatically. Moreover, How can I make the middle and lower part of the live memo of theme Dara, such as ‘about’ & ‘contact’? Thank you!

These are the front-page Featured Pages, to have these on your homepage, please follow the steps from this page:
https://wordpress.com/theme/dara.
- Publish the three pages you would like to feature on your front page, and upload Featured Images for each page.
- Go to Customizer → Theme Options.
- Use the three drop-down menus to select the pages you’d like to feature.
Click Save and Publish.
As for the slider, it does not automatically slide on Dara.

Try dividing your content into smaller paragraphs. You can also use the More Block:

As for the different themes, you can check out all the themes that allow a featured posts slider here:

Hi,
The featured image cut off.
Featured images will be cropped to fit the space. I’d recommend using images that are already close to those dimensions, if possible.
How can I put the ‘share this’ at the bottom of the homepage?
The share this button will go just below your homepage content. I can see you’ve added it already.
To be honest, most of the time people will be sharing articles that caught their attention, rather than the front page content of the site. So in that space, it might be better to add some client testimonials instead, and put the sharing buttons on individual posts… but it’s up to you!
The setup instructions explain how to add the testimonials section. This may help too:

I have cropped the image many times but fail to fit the space. What size of the image should be?How can I delete the ‘share this’ button on my homepage? How can I make the facebook icon like the live demo of theme dara?
How can I make the lower part of the live demo of theme dara, i.e. about us, visit us and opening hour?
Thank you so much for your reply!

The featured image used on the front page and on pages needs to be at least 1180px wide. Featured Images for posts should be at least 880px wide by 312px tall.
Please note that featured images are dynamically resized and cropped when your site is viewed on different screens. So if someone views your site on a big desktop display, they can see the images in full size, whereas someone viewing it from a small laptop screen would see them cropped.
How can I delete the ‘share this’ button on my homepage?
You need to open that page in the Editor, click on the Jetpack icon, and then uncheck the “Show sharing buttons” box. Here’s a screenshot:
How can I make the facebook icon like the live demo of theme dara?
For that you need to set up the Social Links menu:

How can I make the lower part of the live demo of theme dara, i.e. about us, visit us and opening hour?
For that, you need to add widgets in the theme’s footer area. Go to
WordPress.com > My Sites > Design > Customize > Widgets. From there, you can add a widget to each of the three Widget Areas. You can find more information on the available widgets here:https://wordpress.com/support/category/design/customize/widgets-sidebars/
