Want Education Theme Widgets W/out Blog

[mlapointeMember]

I am using the Education Theme template.  I would like my front page to retain all of the widgets (header, slider, feature, etc) but don’t want the blog below (in other words, a static page).  How do I do this?

I am an absolute newbie so please keep this in mind.  Thanks.

Remove the loop by adding this code to your home.php file after the <?php opening PHP tag.

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

Backup the file first.

Or you could make a custom home page template using the code from the default home.php file. http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/add-widgeted-sidebar

Brad,

I added:

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

to my Minimum Theme looking for the same effect as above.  However, once I do that I’m missing something.  It’s still shows a blog post if there are any.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hank

Hank. Could you post a link to your site please.

Try this code in your child themes style.css file:

.home .post,
.navigation li a, .navigation li.disabled, .navigation li a:hover, .navigation li.active a {
display: none;
}

Brad,

Does it matter where I add the code on the style.css sheet? Beginning, end, etc?

The end of the file is best Hank.

If you’re using the Minimum theme, you could remove all posts from displaying on the home page using this CSS:

.home #inner { 
display: none; 
}
