Getting a widgetised Area Front Page No Code

  • Hi There,

    Firstly I am a novice please be gentle with me :). A much more experienced person than me set up my website. I have downloaded OTW widgetised pages and sidebars plugin so that I can add content in columns and rows, through widgets eliminating the need to use code.

    I wanted to have a widgetised area on my front page underneath the “Buttons” currently displayed there. However, the site has been built using code etc and therefor there is no “page” to build the widgetised content in, as you build it on the page or post content editor views.

    With this in mind I created a post called “Widgetised area front page”, in the hope I would be able to feed the content of this post with all my lovely widgets, into the space on the front page described above full width. I don’t even know if this is the best way to go around this.

    But if anybody could help with some code to put into the Main Index Page in Editor, to feed the “widgetised area front page” post full width into the space I want this would be great, as it would allow me to update front page content with widgets.

    Hope I have articulated this problem concisely, I am just a humble scientist, trying to find simple work arounds.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Anna

  • Hi Anna,

    If I understand correctly, it sounds like you may need to do some editing of your Home page template, but it’s hard to say. Please provide a link to your website, so we can see the areas you are referring to on your Home page.

    Thanks!

    Hi Anna,

    Looks like this is a custom built theme, and I don’t see some info I would normally expect to see (e.g. body class). We’re going to be limited here on the forums as to how much advice we can give, but I can give it a try.

    To determine which page is being used for your Home page, in your WordPress dashboard go to Settings > Reading and look at the “Front page displays” area and see what page is selected for “Front page.”

    Which version of the OTW plugin are you using? If you are using the premium version (you paid for the plugin) any questions on how to work with that plugin will need to be directed to the plugin developer through their Code Canyon profile page.

    Hope this helps to get you pointed in the right direction.

    Hi Christi,

    Thanks for your reply. Do you know what code do I need to input to display a specific post, full width on the page?

    Hi Anna,

    That depends on how your site is set up. Is your site set up to display a static page, or Posts? Also, which version of the OTW plugin are you using?

    Thanks!
