Issue with Adding Intro Text Above Latest Posts in Blocksy (Free Version)

Hi everyone,

I’m building a WordPress blog using the Blocksy (free version) theme, and I’m struggling to insert a custom intro text/banner above the latest posts on the homepage.What I Want:

• A full-width text block between the header and the latest posts section
• The sidebar should still appear on the blog page but not affect the width of the intro text
• The intro text should only appear on the homepage, not on other pages

What I Tried:

1. Using the “Latest Posts” setting in WordPress (Settings > Reading)
   • Works for displaying posts but doesn’t allow me to add a block above them
2. Switching to a “Static Page”
   • Allows adding an intro text but removes wether the complete blog-style layout & sidebar displays the sidebar next to the text and scales it down.
3. Inserting HTML in the Header via Blocksy
   • Successfully added the text, but now it appears on all pages, not just the homepage
4. Tried PHP with is_front_page() and wp_head
   • Doesn’t seem to work inside Blocksy’s custom HTML area

What’s the Best Solution?

How can I add an intro text above my latest posts while keeping the sidebar visible, ensuring the text only appears on the homepage?

for now I chose the option with inserting the text in the header to show you what I want.

Thanks for any help!
