Go to Customiz’it! > Front Page
Front Page can point to either a Static Page or your Latest Posts. So there are a few combinations that can be set (Home & Blog refer to Pages):
1) Front page displays: Don’t show any posts or page
2) Front page displays: your latest posts =Displays posts
3) Front page displays: A static Page
Posts page: –Select–
Front page: –Select– =Displays posts
4) Front page displays: A static Page
Posts page: –Select–
Front page: Home =Displays static page
5) Front page displays: A static Page
Posts page: Blog
Front page: –Select– =Displays posts
6) Front page displays: A static Page
Posts page: Blog
Front page: Home =Displays static page

Thank you, I guess my option would be number 6 but maybe I’m doing something wrong because I can’t find my blog in the “Posts page” menu. Do I need to set a new page as posts page and then select it?
Create a Static Page called Blog (or something) but don’t add any code to it.

It’s still not working. This is what I did:
1 created a static page named “Blog” and published it blank
2 opened the customiz’it window
3 in the front page section, I selected
Front page displays: A static Page
Posts page: Blog (the newly created blank static page)
Front page: Home
What I get is a front page showing the featured pages section and the Home page below. No posts.
Hi Andy, did you find the solution? I am facing the problem as your exactly. Do you mind to share your solution? Thanks!

Hi Adam, I couldn’t find a solution.
One way to do this is to adapt the technique in this snippet that adds a widget after the header.
In this case, we add a widget after the featured pages, as long as we’re on the home page.
The php is:
// Adds a widget area.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Extra Front Page Widget Area',
'id' => 'extra-fp-widget-area',
'description' => 'Extra widget area after the featured pages',
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget my-extra-widget">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
}
// Place the widget area after the featured pages
add_filter( 'tc_fp_block_display' , 'add_my_fp_widget_area' );
function add_my_fp_widget_area($html) {
ob_start();
if ( tc__f('__is_home') ) {
dynamic_sidebar('Extra Front Page Widget Area');
}
$extra_html = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $html . $extra_html;
}
Read the snippet to understand the concepts / how to use.
