    Does anyone know a simple way to create an editable space on the home page between the header+menu and the post list?

    It should show everything that is edited there in its whole form, not as a sticky post with an excerpt for example.

    Any plugin, widget area, format? I want to be able to show text and media in full before the normal posts are displayed. I’ve tried searching everywhere and I have limited knowledge of how the wordpress php is structured.

    Thank you for your time :0)

    You can create a child theme, copy the appropriate file over from your parent theme to your child theme, and edit the file to include whatever you would like.

    It looks like you are using the Esplanade theme and a child theme already, so you could copy over the parent theme’s index.php and insert your content right after this line:

    
		<section id="content">

    (That’s just a guess by looking at the theme’s source code. Also, that theme is seriously out of date and represents a potential security risk.)

    If you try it, let us know if it works, or if you run into snags we can help you out with it.
