 * I love the Kale theme so far but my recent posts area looks really messy. [This is my site.](http://www.thaifoodparadise.com)
   As you can see, the recent posts area shows 7 of my latest posts. Is there a 
   way to limit this area to just show one recent post? Or better still, is there
   a way to remove this area entirely from my home page? Thanks for any help.

    Static front page Change option from “your latest post” to“
   a static page”

 * Hi [@roro1990](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roro1990/), I’m [@ricotheque](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ricotheque/)
   from LyraThemes. What [@eugemac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eugemac/)
   said will work. We have [more details in our theme documentation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/).
 * Hope this helps!

 * That doesn’t do what I need, unfortunately. If I choose “a static page” then 
   I have to choose a page other than the home page I’m using. I essentially just
   want to have the exact same layout as I currently do on my homepage, but with
   both the recent posts and sidebars removed. So I want the main header image, 
   the Featured Posts Section, and then to skip straight to the footer.

 * Create a new blank page and then set that as the front page under Settings > 
   Reading.
 * In order to remove the recent posts from your home page, please create a new 
   blank page (for example “Home”). Now go to Settings > Reading and set this page
   as the front page. See this for more information: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen#Reading_Settings](https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen#Reading_Settings).
 * Once this static page is set up, you will no longer see the recent posts on your
   home page. However, you’ll be seeing the title of the page “Home” which you can
   hide by using this custom CSS in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
 * .home .entry-page h1.entry-title { display: none; }
