Hey there Andrew Marshall,
Hope you’re well! 🙂
I can’t see an option to hide the HERO IMAGE but you can change the frontp page and set it to a static page.
or you can change it by navigating to Appearance > Theme Options > Top Feature Settings.
=====
If you want to remove it completely:
First, Use child themes for any customisation you will make. Read more about it here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
Create a new file named ‘home.php’ inside your child theme folder then put the code you will find here: https://gist.github.com/calvincanas/9865fb025cadde52e343
– I just remove the element that contains the slider.
I don’t recommend hiding it thru css since it will still load.
Hope it helps! 🙂
Take care,
Calvin
Hello Calvin!
I thought I posted a reply but it seems it didnt reach you.
Just to say: I dont want to remove the slider just the default text that states: ‘Showcase your multiple images here’
and then further down on the homepage; as I am not using the site as a blog I want to remove the text that states ‘ show your latest posts here’
I am totally new to this: when you say remove; how do I do this?
Hey there Andrew,
Hope you’re well! 🙂
if you just want to remove the text then navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Top Feature Settings[tab] then put a “space” on every field. It can’t be empty because it will go to default text if it’s empty.
if you want to remove / change text of ‘show your latest posts here‘ go to the next tab – Homepage Feature Area
Hope it helps! 🙂
Take care,
Calvin
Hello Calvin!
Mate you’re a lifesaver:-)!
I have done everything as explained and it worked like a charm.
I am now 98% there with this as all that remains now is a single – what looks like a bullet point
Before I remove some code it had the text: ‘ sorry no posts match your criteria’
Could you possibly tell me how to remove this bullet point? I am looking in the code for something that may resemble but I dont want to fiddle too much… Really appreciate all your help – maybe you could help me quickly with this last tiny little problem 🙂
Hey there Andrew,
Glad it’s working for you! 🙂
For your last request, follow the steps below but first use child themes for any customisation you will make. Read more about it here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
-Get the code here: https://gist.github.com/calvincanas/1b54cf58f36de956d828
-I assume you already have child theme and activated it, create a new file called ‘home.php'( w/o the quotation ) inside your child theme folder.
-Put the code you get from first step in ‘home.php’
-Done
Basically, I just remove the code that output the “Sorry no post category” text. The bullet point is cause by li html tag. Also removed it 🙂
Hope it helps! 🙂
Take care,
Calvin
And it is done!
Calvin, you are my hero 🙂 !
Hi Calvin,
I know that I should have opened a new thread but I just wanted to reach you that’s why I’m posting here.
In the theme option > homepage feature area > First Feature Heading
I add a new title (my website is in Greek language), and the title is not showing on my homepage.
I’ve checked the wp-config.php file for character encodind and everything is fine, also on my sql database. I tried changing the font on the themes style.css file but it didn’t help either. Can you please help me with this? Do you know what can be causing this?
@bigdropgr – yes, please do open a new thread – that’s how these forums work.
And you need to post in the forum for the theme you are using and include a link to your site.
