    How do I remove the blog from my homepage(smartsecretarynow.com) and put the page that I have designed using my theme(called make) there instead?

    The page that I have designed is residing at a subdomain and I want it to be at the homepage.

    I did a search on this forum and copied and pasted the following into my custom css section:

    .home_page_blog {
    display: none;
    }

    But the blog is still there. Also, there is nothing at settings>reading that would allow me to change this, as in previous versions of wordpress.

    Have you changed the settings in your Customization page yet?
    Customization –> Static Front Page –> ( ) A Static Page

    Then, change Front Page to the page that you would like it to show instead of your latest posts.
    This seems to me like what you are asking, I’m sorry if it isn’t. Let me know if you need more help.

    I’m sorry, where is Customization?

    In your WP dashboard, which is what you arrive at after logging into WP-admin, there is a link at the top. Scroll over ‘Visit my site’ and there should appear an option called ‘Customization’. Or, while logged in, go to your website and click the paint brush in the top left.
    It is where you generally change background and font colors if that helps.

    I’m in customize, but don’t see any link for ‘static front page’

    Can you post a screenshot of your customization dashboard? It could be theme specific, but I didn’t think so.

    It is apparently done differently under the Make theme. Sorry for the confusion. Here is a VERY easy way to make this happen.

    “”Under WordPress dashboard –> Settings –> Reading, you’ll see some settings under “Front Page Displays.” Select “Static Page,” and pick the page you want displayed there.””

    under dashboard>settings>reading, I don’t have anything called ‘Front page Displays’.

    Ok, that’s unfortunate. I will look at this when I get home, as many sites are blocked on my work computer. I’ll let you know in just a couple of hours. Let me know if you figure it out before then.

    Go to Customizaton Page –> General –> Static Front Page –> (√) A static page –> Front Page –> (Dropdown Menu) Choose the page you want to show on your front page.

    Sorry, I had to end up installing the theme on my own website to see what to do.

    There is no ‘Static Front Page’ option under Customize>General. See screenshot below

    Got it!

    I published the page and the options for ‘Static Front Page’ became visible under customize.

    Many thanks for your help Joey Ricketts.

    Oh gotcha, I would not have guessed to tell you to do that. Glad you were able to find it!

    Now my menu in dashboard has disappeared after I installed memberful, check out the screenshot https://postimg.org/image/ca8c2odyv/.

    How can I restore my menu?

    I got that solved but logging out and logging back in.

    Now I have a problem because I’ve bought a new theme and cannot install it under appearance>themes. It says that I need to install the theme as a plugin instead. When I try to install it as a plugin I get the following error message:

    “The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

    Do you know what the problem here is?
