Hi @evallad,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

To make it clear i want to ask you that whether you are trying to achieve the home page as following?

HI, I’m fine thank you. Hope you are too.
Yes I was but I changed my mind.

I keep the last articles page as homepage, desactivate the right bar and add my own code in the template to have my own elements. I would prefer to create a static homepage but impossible to get the articles loop (as shown in the https://colorlib.com/activello/ homepage).

Besides,
– I would like to hide from the homepage the articles shown in the slider. Is that possible ?
– I’d like to have the share this & related saw in this page https://colorlib.com/activello/template-featured-image-vertical/

Kind regards

I am not sure what you meant by “the last articles page as homepage” so please make it a bit clear.

Also share some screenshots and your site URL where you have made these changes so that i can better understand it and help you.

I would like to hide from the homepage the articles shown in the slider. Is that possible ?

You can try achieving this by using the following custom code as described here https://colorlib.com/wp/forums/topic/suppress-slider-on-posts-page/#post-24989

function exclude_category( $query ) {
	if( ! is_category() && get_theme_mod('activello_featured_hide') == 1 ){
		$slidecat = get_theme_mod( 'activello_featured_cat' );

	    if (  $query->is_main_query() ) {
	        $query->set( 'cat', '-'.$slidecat );
	    }
	}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

Many thanks for the code, it works perfectly!

For the rest, I woukd like to create my own homepage. When I put this code in my homepage, thé page is empty:

<div id="primary" class="content-area">
                <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>

		<main id="main" class="site-main <?php echo "page-".$paged;?>" role="main">

		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

			<div class="article-container">

			<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', '' ); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

			</div>

			<?php activello_paging_nav(); ?>

		<?php else : ?>

			<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>
		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

I juste see the header, parts I’ve added and rhe slider.

Hope it is clear now ??

You are most welcome ??
