  • That isn’t actually the official demo, not too sure who controls that site. Hmm.

    Anyhow, to get the front page back to displaying that “From the Blog” section, all you need to do is create a new page, add the Post Block template and set it as your static front page.

    I am also having a problem with the front page. I have it set to a static homepage but the sidebar is just shoved underneath all the material on my homepage and not actually in the sidebar position. See here: http://www.dwellbeautiful.com
    How would I fix that? Thank you!!!

    @c.bavota: Thanks for the response. I tried your solution of creating a new page and setting the template to “Post Block Template” but unfortunately that did not have the desired result; the page itself (not the front page) showed the whole posts and not just excerpts and the front page did not show any posts under the home page widget area. What did work was the following:
    1. I created a child theme and rolled “front-page.php” back to v1.0.3. After doing this, I realized that the thumbnail images weren’t being set to the old sizes (i.e. they were now all defaulting to their small thumbnail sizes vs. the first post having the “half” setting and all the others having the “square100” size setting.
    2. Because of the size issue, I looked and found that there is a new function in row 679 of functions.php, “bavotasan_display_post_thumbnail()” that is now setting $size = ‘thumbnail’ because front-page.php isn’t in the ‘if’ statement. I commented out row 684:
    $size = ( ! is_page_template( 'page-templates/template-post-block.php' ) || 1 < $paged ) ? 'thumbnail' : $size;
    and everything on my non-static frontpage is now the way it was before the update.

    The code changes I mention in #2 above isn’t a long term solution, and I would rather not be working off an earlier version of front-page.php obviously. Any thoughts?

    Hi @c.Bavota – regarding the demo link I included in my first post, that is the destination link of the “Preview” button from this page, which is on WordPress.org. https://wordpress.org/themes/arcade-basic (click on the green button labelled “Preview” on the right hand side). On the preview, since 1.0.4 there is a widget included in the Post Block section and the Post block seems to have lost its two column, “no widget” format that you describe in the Customize page (“Sidebars do not appear on the home page unless you have set a static front page.”).

    I installed Arcade on WP 4.0 and I was trying to have a Post Block.
    So I wrote a page , set it as static but in my homepage now is retrieving just the title of that page. Any hints , pls?
