 * How do I get rid of the featured posts on the homepage? Also, how do I get rid
   of the latest events/news on the homepage. I want these completely omitted. I
   have not created any posts and can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of what
   is already there. Thank you.

 * Have you visited the “Theme Options” link in “Appearance” from the dashboard?
   It looks like there’s a tab for “Home page” that might be able to help with removing
   the “Featured Posts” and “Events” Sections.

 * Thank you for your response Bryan. I have looked through all of the options in
   the “Theme Options” link. There are different layouts that are offered, but all
   of them include the posts. There is even an link on this page for the category,
   but the only options I see for both are to add posts or add categories.

 * They are all on choose. With the slider in order to move those images I had to
   create posts and add images. The problem with the featured posts is that I don’t
   intend to replace them. Thank you!

 * Unfortunately – it doesn’t look like this is possible from the panel. Are you
   set up with a Child theme, or a custom css plugin? if so, paste the following
   in:
 * #mid-section #featured-post-1, #mid-section #featured-post-2, #mid-section #featured-
   post-3 {
    display: none; }
 * That should hide the featured post area.
 * For the events, I think the best solution would be to choose the template with
   out a sidebar.
 * Let me know how that works

 * At first if you haven’t created any post of category and selected though theme
   option panel then a dummy contents appears.. it will be replaced as soon as you
   create content and assign.
 * The featured post is the main part of the theme so we don’t have provided options
   to remove it
 * And about latest event/news section at home page, you don’t need to have the 
   same section specifically. you can have other section like Latest ….
    It depends
   on the name of the category that you choose for this section.
 * If you don’t want featured section to show then you can do as [@bryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bryan/)
   said.
 * We will address this in next update.. we are coming with next update very soon
   with more features.

 * Thank you for your responses and your help Bryan. I have created a child theme,
   and it does work that way.
 * Thank you also to Access Keys. Nice theme.

 * To remove the Events and Welcome, I edited the index-one.php (No time to make
   a child theme).
 * Remove the following code (or you could put it after the Featured Posts (an option
   I liked, rearranging the order so the fancy parts showed ‘above the fold’)
 * <section id=”top-section” class=”ak-container”>
    <div id=”welcome-text” class
   =”clearfix”> <?php
 *  if(!empty($accesspresslite_welcome_post_id)){
 *  $query1 = new WP_Query( ‘p=’.$accesspresslite_welcome_post_id );
    while ($query1-
   >have_posts()) : $query1->the_post(); ?>
 * </h1>
 *  <?php
    if( has_post_thumbnail() ){ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(
   $post->ID ), ‘full’, false ); ?>
 *  <figure class=”welcome-text-image”>
    “> <img src=”<?php echo $image[0]; ?>” 
   alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>”>  </figure> <?php } ?>
 *  <div class=”welcome-detail<?php if( !has_post_thumbnail() ){ echo ” welcome-
   detail-full-width”; } ?>”>
    <p><?php echo accesspresslite_excerpt( get_the_content(),
   $accesspresslite_welcome_post_char ) ?></p> <?php if(!empty($accesspresslite_settings[‘
   welcome_post_readmore’])){?> ” class=”read-more bttn”><?php echo $accesspresslite_settings[‘
   welcome_post_readmore’]; ?> <?php } ?> </div>
 *  <?php endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata(); }
 *  else{ ?>
