HATCH theme: trouble with static HOME page

You have to set the entries as sticky posts, at lest the once you want to have on your first page. If that is not how it should be done it did work for me

Does anyone used the gravity form in the contacts pages. ?

I need helppppp

I’ve been trying to figure out how to add some text to the static home page of my bf’s website: https://www.vincentbrun.com/, as shown in the demo… (on the left of the top image)

Can anyone tell me where to look? Thanks:)

Nevermind, I figured it out! lol ??

anyone can tell me how I can modify text on the left (biography)? I want it will be justified. I don’t know how do this. https://www.vincentbrun.com/,

Hello all, after trying to figure out how to achieve this on my own site for a few hours I figured it out.
You need to edit style.css and replace

.home .hentry, .archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

with

.home .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0 0 20px 0;
	font-size: 1em;
}
.archive .hentry {
	float: left;
	width: 23.40425531914894%;
	height: 150px;
	margin: 0 2.127659574468085% 20px 0;
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
}

And then in the wordpress reading settings page change the frontpage to be the static page you want.

I used this for the static page home issue and it worked great – except the footer now displays alongside to the right of the page instead of at the bottom. Anyone know how to return it to normal?

Looks like this.

Edit: Started a new thread here: Hatch Theme: Static Homepage css affecting blog page

Greenbike,

You’re more likely to receive help if you post your own thread, hope that helps.

I switched to a much simpler coded theme (Designer by Dessign.net) and it seems to be working well for my tweaking purposes. However, I would still like to know if anyone knows how to fix the issue I was having…

I wanted to get the static front page working and here is the hack I’ve used to make it work for me. It seems to work ok but I guess you’d have to try it to see if it works for you too. I’ve used Hatch 0.21.

Note: This works OK for me but if you decide to do this make sure you at least backup this file before you change it.

After you’ve changed the code you can set the static front page and WordPress should render it ok. You can then tweak the CSS if needed.

You can see the end result on a site I’ve used it on at: https://www.justgentz.co.uk

– Locate the file context.php in themes/hatch/library/functions

– Locate the function hybrid_get_context

– Comment out these two lines in that function:

if ( is_front_page() )
      $hybrid->context[] = 'home';

Becomes:

//if ( is_front_page() )
      //$hybrid->context[] = 'home';

Should look like this after editing:

function hybrid_get_context() {
        global $hybrid;

        /* If $hybrid->context has been set, don't run through the conditionals again. Just return the variable. */
        if ( isset( $hybrid->context ) )
                return $hybrid->context;

        /* Set some variables for use within the function. */
        $hybrid->context = array();
        $object = get_queried_object();
        $object_id = get_queried_object_id();

        /* Front page of the site. */
        //if ( is_front_page() )
        //      $hybrid->context[] = 'home';

        /* Blog page. */
        if ( is_home() ) {
                $hybrid->context[] = 'blog';
        }

        // rest of function...
