Can I install ThemeForest theme with GeneratePress?

[Gary]

I’m currently using the GeneratePress Marketer theme but would like my site to look something like this ThemeForest theme:

What’s the best way to do this? If I change themes, how do I ensure my content gets migrated over seamlessly as well?

Hi there,

You’d need to create a new static page for your home page then use a plugin like WP Show Posts to replicate something similar to that.

If you recently imported Marketer, then you can just revert the process:

Thanks Leo. I’m finding WP Show Posts to be pretty limited. I can only create a set number of columns, whereas in the theme linked they have separate sections with 2 posts, 3 posts, 4 posts, and then more content + sidebar at the bottom. What would be the best/easiest way to replicate that look with GeneratePress at this point?

WP Show Posts should be the easiest.

If you want the 2 posts, 3 posts and 4 posts layout, then create 3 shortcodes.
