Editing Charge Template

Hi Dami,

I tried creating a homepage template in the element section

I'm not sure I understand what this means.

1. It seems you've created a static page and assigned it as the home page at settings > reading. This is the right way to do it.

2. Is there any specific reason you are using block elements to create the home page? Creating a static page like this usually doesn't require using block elements.

Let me know :)

Hi Ying,

When I created the blocks on the static Home page, it was very narrow. Didn't look good

You can set the static page to full width in page editor:

It's already set to full width. I've recreated the blocks on the static Homepage so you see what I mean

It's because you have this CSS:

and this CSS:

You can add body:not(.home) in front of all the CSS selectors to exclude the home page from the CSS.

Thanks. Is it possible to change the font size only on the homepage without css?

And also stop the footer widgets (Pages, Recent Posts, Search etc) from appearing on the homepage

No.

The home page is just a static page so you can use the disable element metabox:

When I create the template using the blocks, there is no "read more" button. Is there any way to add a read more button below the post excerpt on the homepage?

Also, I tried to centralize my logo as per the instruction here https://docs.generatepress.com/article/centering-logo-navigation/ but the menu items are quite far from the logo. I'm trying to recreate this look http://i.prntscr.com/KYZyFyiQRZWY9Q1D7ibYzg.png

Hi there,

your home page is a static page, that uses the WP Show Posts list. So a block element won't apply to there.
If you want to enable the Read More, you need to edit the WP Show Posts list, and make sure you have some text in the Content > Read More field.

Lets see if we can get that fixed first. And could you raise a separate topic regarding the center logo. It will stop the topics from getting overlapped and make it easier to find the answers later :)

Perfect, that added in the button. How can I change the colour of the button? It doesn't seem to be following the option I set in Customizing ▸ Colors > Buttons

Can you try the settings within WPSP?

Don't see that option on the dashboard

Ahh that's a WPSP pro option then.

We would need to use CSS in this case - can you open a support topic here so the answer can help other users as well?

Thanks!

Alright. I've opened one
