Title: Pinnacle theme problems Last modified: May 18, 2017 --- # Pinnacle theme problems * [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/) * Hi, I really like themes from Kadence, but I’m having a hard time with Pinnacle. Here are some of my issues, please help! * HOMEPAGE 1. There is no “home” page under my PAGES tab; therefore, I am unable to edit the page title, where it shows up in the browser tab. I usually use the Yoast SEO plugin to edit this, but I can’t since there’s no homepage to be edited. How can I edit that? 2. I haven’t uploaded a site logo, only a background header, but if you click in the top left portion it still takes you to the default homepage, which I don’t want. How can I remove that phantom link? * BLOG 1. How can I edit the size of the excerpts? I want them to all be in a neat grid, as opposed to some shorter and some taller. I tried using the Yoast SEO plugin for that too with no luck. Is there a way I can edit the number of lines that show before the “Read More” link is shown? 2. Is there a way to add a hover feature to the blog excerpts or blog titles? So when a visitor scrolls over a post it highlights? If not, is it possible to make the title highlight when scrolled over, similar to other links on the site? * Thanks a lot!

Or delete that page? For some reason the “uncategorized” category page comes up in google search results, and because it’s not listed under the PAGES tab in my dashboard I don’t know how to get rid of it. * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9146999) * Hey, 1. You need to create a home page. Then you will need to go to Settings > Reading and set this page as the front page. Then be sure to enable Page Content in your homepage layout manager (theme options > home layout). * 2. You can hide the logo field with this css: * ``` #logo { display: none; } ``` * Just paste that into your custom css box in Theme Options > Custom CSS. Just be sure to remove it if you decide to use a logo in the future. * 3. Can you post a link to your blog page? * 4. You can use this css: * ``` .blog_item .entry-title:hover { color: #333; } ``` * 5. I don’t believe there’s a way to hide this without editing the theme files. Are you currently using a child theme? * Hannah * Thread Starter [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9147242) * Thanks soooo much for responding so fast! My website is iamallmelanin.party/blog * 1. So I actually want the blog page to be my home page. When I set Front page to Static Page and Choose “Blog” AND enable page content, I get a homepage with my sidebars and footers but no blog page content…not sure what I’m doing wrong here… * 2. Worked perfectly! Thanks! But now my blog page is not the same…there are no posts on it, and the header is not showing, despite it being enabled, and the grid format is gone, despite that being enabled as well. * 3. iamallmelanin.party/blog * 4. Can’t test it since no posts are showing up on my blog page. * 5. I’m not using a child theme, should I be??? * Thanks! You guys have the best support team. * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9147504) * 1. So you can’t actually use a page template on the home page as it will get overridden by the default homepage template. What you can do is set your page as a latest post page, rather than a static page (settings > reading). And again, make sure page content is enabled in the homepage layout manager. * 2. That css woulnd’t have affect on that. Have you tried clearing your cache? * 4. I’m seeing posts on your blog page? * 5. Only if you plan to edit theme files. I can ask the developer if he knows a simpler method for hiding the uncategorized page. * Hannah * Thread Starter [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9149714) * Hey Hannah * Thanks! * Ok so for the blog page, can you check it again? The posts are showing up now, but the grid format and the header isn’t. How can I fix this? * Thread Starter [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9150147) * Update: * The blog is back in grid format (no idea how or why, I haven’t changed anything) but now the hard crop to make the images the same size is not working…I checked that it’s enabled in blog options…I went through my plugins one by one to see if any of them are interfering and can’t find a culprit. * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9150430) * More than likely it was a caching issue. Be sure to clear your cache in the future. * Hannah * Thread Starter [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9150447) * Hey Hannah, * I cleared my cache again, and I’m still having the same problem: the images are not hard cropped to be the same size. What can I do? * Thread Starter [afrikablam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afrikablam/) * (@afrikablam) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pinnacle-theme-problems/#post-9150600) * UPDATE: * I switched themes. I’m using your Ascend theme now. Much easier for me. * Thanks so much for your help! I’m a big fan of Kadence themes.
