[Support request] Peaks – How To Edit Home Page

[Clark]

Hello,

I’ve installed the template peaks on my WordPress site and I want to change the 3 previews on the home page.

At the moment you it says: blog, about and contact. Firstly, I’d like to change blog to a different page and edit the text and links of the others but I can’t figure out how to do it. When I open the home page it doesn’t let me edit anything.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

the link you have provided doesn’t show the Peak Site?

The home page should be editable.
To change the links you need to go to Appearance > Menus and change the menu links to the pages you want.

Hi Dave,

I have had the cache cleared, my site using peaks should show up if you check again.

I didn’t mean the menu bar, I mean the main section of the home page below the hero section. On my site it would be the section under the “our services” button.

Thanks

Odd, that page should be editable – are you using the Gutenberg editor?

[Clark]

I’m not sure what the Gutenberg editor is.

[Clark]

I mean I can type over the existing text when I edit it under pages. But I don’t know how to change the buttons.

[David]

Switch to Text Editor view and you will see something like this for the button:

<a class="button" href="#">Start reading</a>

So you can either edit the href=”#” and add the URL you wish to link to and the text for the button.

Or you can delete that and create a new link which will look like something this in the text editor:

<a href="https://mysite.com/url-to-link">my button</a>

Just edit that and add the class="button" so it looks like this:

<a class="button" href="https://mysite.com/url-to-link">my button</a>

Thanks for the response.

For some reason I can’t switch to the text editor on any of the pre-made pages. When I click the 3 dots in the top right corner to switch editors nothing happens. The same if I try to change the widgets at the bottom. However, it does work on pages I have created myself.

Ok so that sounds like the Block (gutenberg) editor.
Are you able to select and delete that block? If so i would adviser removing it and rebuilding that section with the Columns Block

[Clark]

No, I can’t even select or delete the block. Literally the only thing I can do on the page is type over the existing text.

[David]

Would you be willing to provide us with Admin access to the site?
You can send user and password via the account issue form along with the URL to this topic:

https://generatepress.com/contact/

[Clark]

Sure, should I send it to the form under “account issues”?

[Clark]

Have just sent it now. Thanks

[David]

OK – so the Gridable plugin thats being used for the columns is breaking that page, looks like its not compatible with Gutenberg.

Best thing to do is to delete that page and the gridable plugin. And rebuild the page using the Columns Block. We’ll be updating that Site to use the Columns Block

[Clark]

Just a thought, could another solution be to just disable the plugin, make the changes and then reactivate it?

I’m not the most advance with WordPress so don’t want to diverge too much from the template.
