    Why cant i do this in Homepage.php ?

    I found out that i can add lots of info over there (homepage.php is my front page)

    In that case, edit homepage.php. Most themes use index.php as the front page template file, that’s all.

    this might be the perfect solution for me..

    going to test it the next days..

    ( with the combination of Advanced Category Excluder to also make things invisible again to only show it in rows.. )
