Minimum Theme – Static Homepage Content

[rogrossmMember]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve just purchased Minimum 2.0 for a new business website. I love the look of the theme, but I need to change the homepage a bit.

Out of the box, the Minimum theme shows a grid of the latest blog posts just under the four social media icons. I want to remove this grid and replace it with a single post, which I would like to see displayed in full, not as an excerpt.

What’s the easiest way to do this?

Many thanks!

Best regards,

Robert Grossman

The simplest way would be to replace the grid loop with a new sidebar so you can use a featured page widget.

I am having the exact same issue as Robert.  I would like to use a static page but keep the featured image on my home page.

What about using an include command in home.php, like:  include(“front.html”); ?

Yes, you could do that as well.

@bpcallahan

create an home-static.php file in your theme folder.
Add here your html code.

Then, in home.php use:

get_template_part( 'home', 'static' );
