 * Hi,
    I’m trying to setup my own home and blog page layout.
 * So I set 2 static sites in my wordpress settings.
 * Now the “problems”:
 * At my home page I want to get the latest blog posts like if I set the front page
   to “latest posts”. I could add “latest posts” in virtue settings (Homepage Layout
   Manager) but I may want the other layout for now. Is there any shortcode for 
   this?
 * Then I want to disable the whole sidebar in my blog view. But I can’t change 
   the template settings anymore when I set my blog to a static page. Is it using
   a default wordpress template for this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hey,
    1. There is in the premium theme but not for free. For free you have to
   have your front page set as the post page for that layout to show.
 * 2. Yes if you set your blog page as the post page in your settings > reading 
   then it will override the template. Just leave that on select in your settings
   > reading. You don’t need to set it.

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * 1: Okay, I think I can work with the latest post option right now. Added some
   custom css and it looks good. 🙂
 * 2: Good to know that I don’t need to select it. Did it like you described it 
   and it works like a charm now.
 * Thanks again!
