    Hello,
    I created a child theme from Responsive and am working on that. In theme options, I didn’t enable Custom Front Page, because I wanted to create my own. However, without the custom front page, the 3 home page widgets aren’t showing up. How can I activate them without following the custom front page?

    Thanks so much

    Perhaps with the footer widgets and this plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

    You could also read the php of frontpage.php and either:
    1. copy the front page widget logic to your own front page.
    2. adapt the frontpage to do what you want it to do.

    Thanks! I’ll try out the plugin. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. And I will get back with what I ended up doing.

    So I ended up using the widgets in the footer. I used widget logic, and put this conditional in the footer widgets widget logic space :

    is_front_page()

    That way, the footer widgets only show up on the home page. I’ll put a link to the site I’m working on below.

    Hope that helps out anyone encountering the same problem!
