# Customization Control Lost

 * I guess I have not kept up with upgrades. When I went to make some adjustments
   to my homepage, everything is different and consists of widgets in blocks. I 
   cannot even get to the main section of my home page (which has a sticky post 
   at the top and then all posts below — it is only supposed to show the last 6 
   posts. I then want to create a page or sidebar with older posts (not including
   the last 6 if possible). But the widgets I want to use do not have the title 
   attribute from the theme. It seems I may have to redesign the entire site at 
   which point I have to consider alternative themes, but I really just wanted to
   clean up the home page. I realize that this is not a generic question and I may
   need a little hand holding. Appreciate any insight.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustomization-control-lost%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey [@mipikale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mipikale/) ,
 * Thank you for writing in,
 * First, the changes in the widgets editor are brought by WordPress and not by 
   the theme. You can go through this documentation and learn how to disable it 
   if you want: [https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/widgets/opting-out/](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/widgets/opting-out/)
 * If you are using any shortcode for the sticky post, then you can go to Appearance
   > Widgets section and add the Shortcode widget along with the post’s shortcode
   in **Front Page: Content Top Section ** location.
 * Similarly, you can add your latest 6 posts at the bottom of the page with the
   help of the Latest Posts widget. Please add the widget in **Front Page: Content
   Bottom Section**
 * And for the sidebar, you can again add the Latest Posts widget in the **Right
   Sidebar** location. You can categorize the posts that you want to display in 
   the sidebar in one category and then display that particular category there.
 * Could you please let me know what widgets did you use which did not suit your
   requirements?
 * Regards,
    ThemeGrill Support Team
