post preview

My apologies – the wording on that checkbox is not quite accurate, since as you discovered the four latest posts will appear only on the blog page, not on a static homepage. I’ve asked to have that checkbox wording made more clear in a future update.

Or, is it possible to have the blog page just following the sticky home page, when I’m scrolling down?

While that’s not possible without some major theme surgery, you might want to try this instead:

1. set your front page to display the latest posts under Settings > Reading
2. create a sticky post and put the content of your current static homepage in it

Hi there, since your front page is no longer set to a static page, it’s not possible to display the sticky post without a sidebar on the homepage itself.

Here’s what is possible:

– it would be possible to display this post with no sidebar and no date:

http://mifalda.com/782/

– it would be possible to hide the date of this post on the homepage.

This custom CSS will hide the date and author in both places:

.post-782 .entry-meta {
  display: none;
}

This will hide the sidebar on the single-post page:

#secondary {
  display: none;
}

An easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module in your existing Jetpack plugin. This way, your CSS won’t be overwritten when you update the theme.
