Static front page not working in Widely theme?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have configured my front page as a ‘static page’ on the Widely theme, with posts linked to run on a different page, under both Reading settings and customize. However, the posts continue to show up on my front page. I’ve been playing with it all day, deleting and re-making pages etc. I just want a static front page.
    Thank you

    Hello there! I see that you’ve managed to set the About page as your static front page. You’ve chosen a theme (Widely) that does include blog posts at the bottom of your front page, even if the top portion is static. See the Widely demo as an example:
    http://widelydemo.wordpress.com/

    You have a couple options:

    1. You can choose a new theme, which is static-only, and never displays blog posts. I can help with this, if you like.
    2. You can add the Custom Design upgrade to your site and I can give you the CSS code which will hide the “latest news” blog posts-element from your front page. About Custom Design:

    Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks much!

    Ah, I see.
    Thank you for checking this out!
    Is there a theme similar aesthetically to Widely?
    Otherwise, is it possible to choose the posts that display on the front page? Currently a few image-only posts are showing on the front page as blank squares..

    Hey again,

    Widely only gives the option to display the most recent posts on that front page. Could you tell me what you like about Widely specifically, and I can suggest a few themes that have the same aesthetic qualities or features?

    Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.
