 * The slideshow on my website has a black bar through it right about where “Church
   News” would be if I had that in place. I have my homepage set to “show latest
   posts”–the bar went away when I set it to a static page, but the static page 
   doesn’t work for my purposes. Is there a setting I should be turning off somewhere?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblack-bar-through-slideshow%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * That’s the section where widgets should be displayed, like in the demo.
    Not 
   having widgets there doesn’t make the area automatically disappear.

 * But the area did disappear when I changed the homepage to a static page. It’s
   only when I’m using it as a “blog” setting that the black bar shows up.

 * If you use a static page as the homepage then a different page template is used,
   so obviously it looks different (it looks like the rest of static pages).
    If
   you display “Your latest posts” then the theme will expect a result similar to
   our live demo.
