• Hello!

    First of all, thanks for great theme.

    Now the question. I am trying to make a resume site. I need to show a static first page, “About me”. The page itself shows ok, but when I try to set it as a STATIC FIRST PAGE, a default demo first page of the theme is shown (the one with WEB DEVELOPING, PHOTOGRAPHY, CUSTOMER SUPPORT articles on top) instead my page.

    How can I set my own static page instead of this demo page? Thanks!

  • Well, yes you can easily override demo contents simply from Customize section.i.e. from Appearance-> Customize. Almost all default sections of the homepage can be customize from here.

    Let’s say the demo content that you have mentioned above is controlled from
    Home/Front Service Section panel of Customizer. Respective blocks of content can then be shown by choosing pages on this panel.

    Hope this help resolving your query.

    Ummm… I see how I can customize that page, thanks!

    But what i really wanted it to set one of my existing pages to be the start page of my site. I’ve managed to do so my turning off all Front Services… And it began to show my page instead. BUT it became stretched on full screen width with zero padding, instead of showing in a center column as it is shown if it id just an ordinary page, not a starting one… Can this be corrected somehow?

    Can you please post in your site URL? It would be helpful for us to debug.

    Front Services are OFF, Front page set to static page “About me”. I guess you can see what the problem is…

    This page is NOT showing this way if I don’t set it as a front page…

    Hello @snowcat8,
    Just some css will do the trick. In Theme Options > Custom CSS, add the given css and it will do it for you.

    .home #primary {
       margin-left: 10%;
       padding-top: 30px !important;
       width: 50% !important;
    }.home #secondary {
       margin-left: 5%;
       margin-right: 10%;
           padding-top: 30px !important;
       width: 25% !important;
    }

    Thanks!

    I faced the same problem and applied the same solution but the above solution makes the mobile viewing of the Website very much unaligned. Please suggest some changes.

    Hello,
    Can you please post a link to your website so that we can fix your issues quick?

    Best regards.

    This is the Link to My Website. The Home (About Me) Page in the Mobile View is distorted. The Twitter Widget on the Home Page is Distorted. IT works fine on other pages.

    Hello,
    The feature you are requesting can be obtained by building a child theme and customizing according to your will,

    or you can view the pro theme which already has the feature you are requesting.

    Best regards.
