Mocha theme totally widgetize home page

[PinkInkParticipant Post count: 23]

Hi I am using the Mocha theme and I am attempting to totally widgetize my home page. No posts and no sidebar or content, just widgets.

I’ve registered my home widgets and all is working fine but I can’t seem to work out how to remove the posts, content and sidebar area on the home page only?

I’ve noticed on the landing page.php there is a remove_action for header, nav and footer should I be adding something similar to the home.php page to remove the content_sidebar? Plus removing the grid loop as well?

Hi, Tiff:

No, it’s not a silly question.

The mocha theme by default is set up like a blog, and will display your latest posts by default. Have you considered setting a static page as your home page? That might be the easiest way to have it set up, if you have no intention of showing posts on the page.

As for the sidebar, if you go to Genesis > Theme Settings > Default Layout, and select full width layout, your sidebars will disappear.

Hi Susan, thank you so much for you reply, I really appreciate it.

With regards to the home page, I understand the static page which I think I may have to do anyway but it still leaves me with the content and sidebar (or full content), I actually want to remove (or hide using display:none; in the CSS if necessary) the .content_sidebar, #content_sidebar_wrap etc form the home page only so that just the widgets display.

Is that making any sense? sorry for not being very clear.

Would forcing a layout like this in the home.php page
genesis_set_default_layout( 'custom_layout' );

then adding bellow to my CSS work?

.custom_layout{
display:none;
}

Do you want the sidebars on the inside pages or are you wanting to remove them all together?

Here is the code to remove the sidebar on the home only. Add this to the bottom of your functions.php file.

// remove sidebar from home
add_action ('genesis_before_loop', 'remove_sidebar_home');
function remove_sidebar_home() {
if (is_home() ) {
remove_action ('genesis_after_content','genesis_get_sidebar');
}
}

Hi,

I’d like to help. Just so I can get caught up, are you using a home.php file? If you are, would you mind posting what is in there now?

Thanks,

HBG

the bottom sections were just me trying anything out but they haven’t worked so I’m removing
// remove content from home
add_action ('genesis_before_loop', 'remove_content_home');
function remove_content_home() {
if (is_home() ) {
remove_action ('genesis_after_content','genesis_get_content');
}
}
remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs');
remove_action( ‘genesis_sidebar’, ‘genesis_do_sidebar’ );
remove_action( 'genesis_content_sidebar', 'genesis_do_content_sidebar');
remove_action( 'genesis_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_do_content_sidebar_wrap');
