Front page widgets wont show in Responsive theme

That means that you switched away from default template, home widgets will show only if default layout is used like this.

What I would like to suggest is to go to Settings > Reading Settings and make sure that reading settings are set to: Your latest posts.

If you have more questions, please visit our dedicated forums, where you can find most answers as well.

Thanks for using Responsive!

so I did that but they still did not display after i put the text widget in there.
I also need my site to land on the about page as the home page. So how do i make that the latest post?

Just do this https://i.imgur.com/HUp4y.png and widgets are available only on home page ??

Emil

yes i did that but they still didnt display. I think its because im using pages, can i make a page the front page instead of a post the front page?

Static page can be only a Front Page when Themes are using home.php or equal, post page don’t apply in this case I’m afraid.

So you can choose any of the pages and “stick” to front for sure ??

Emil

oh bugger your theme is really nice! Might just add some div tags to it. I did like the front widgets tho!
Thanks so much for your help! ??

If you’re using Child Theme you can include the sidebar for any page as well.

Open your current home page layout, locate

<?php get_footer(); ?>

and add the sidebar immediately above the footer

<?php get_sidebar('home'); ?>

Thanks,
Emil

your a legend! thank you! ??

That was exactly what i was looking for!! Thank you soooo much!! just couldn’t figure it out. I just put it in the template php that Im using for the home page!!
Love your theme and these widgets are so much nicer and easier then div tags! ??

You’re welcome, please rate the Theme if you can and close the topic as resolved ??

Thanks for using Responsive!
