 * Hey photomaxe,
 * Could you provide a link to your site so I can see what you’re referring too?

 * Hey there [@photomaxe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photomaxe/),
 * I don’t think it is possible to add additional content to the front page besides
   the predefined sections. You can only use those to bring in content from pages.
 * Have a great day,
 * Andrei

 * many thanks to [@fmixell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fmixell/) and [@baicusandrei](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baicusandrei/),
 * i agree it seems the only way is to use any predefined section to get some content
   to my start page.
 * well i’ll take the about section and hereby see confronted with further difficulties
   with headings specification.
 * – the about section takes <h2> furthermore <h1> is taken by the site title: `
   <h1 class="sq-site-title">`
 * i guess it’s rather simple to change the header.php but how to change from h2
   to h1 within the about-section? – to which *.php does this correspond?
 * regards
    jürgen

 * I’d recommend creating a child theme to overwrite the contents of the about section.
   You should find all you need [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme).
 * Furthermore you should be able to overwrite the about section in **front-page.
   php**. Just copy and paste the file into your child theme to overwrite it. You
   can find the title tag on line **118** and change it from there:
    `<h2 class="
   sq-section-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>`
 * To recap:
 * – create a child theme
    – copy the front-page.php file into it – change the tag
   on line 118
 * Have a great day!
 * Andrei

   custom h1-class in style.css
