 * I found the Remove Widget Titles plugin, so I activated that one next. It tripled
   my page loading time, but the front page banner title is gone.
 * Jetpack activated with no problems.
 * Custom Newsletter Template caused the banner and call to action to disappear,
   so that was deactivated and deleted. I tested all the other plugins except 5 
   which remain deactivated because I am still not sure if I want to or need to 
   utilize them. They are more for decor or personal ease, so not sure if I want
   them. Everything else is working just fine with the front page, so thank you 
   so much for your help! Finally, I have the front page! Woo-hoo!

 * Wow! It worked! I had forgotten that I had the widgets already setup, so when
   I created the front page with the Template sidebar only selected, the entire 
   page popped up. The only thing I need to change is the link for the download 
   button and the text for each widget.
 * The only problem is that the Text title !My Front Page Banner is showing up. 
   I did what you said and not only eliminated all the pages before I started again,
   but I also deactivated every plugin. I began to add them back in one by one.
 * So let me tell you which ones I activated so that perhaps you can ascertain why
   there is a conflict with the one that popped up.
 * I have my security from CleanTalk, which comes with my hosting account, along
   with Spam Protection from CleanTalk as well. I realized that I also had Askismet
   for spam protection, so I deleted it.
 * I also activated my Maintenance Mode Under Construction Page and that caused 
   no conflicts. Btw, I click the refresh button for each plugin as I add them to
   see if it makes any changes on the front page.
 * Then I added in my Breadcrumb NavXT – no problems.
    I added Zedity – no problems.
 * The minute I activated Display Widgets, I lost the front page banner, and the
   call to action. The four widgets were still there, but with that selected, it
   caused conflicts so I deactivated it. Mind you, I have not yet activated Jetpack,
   so this is just that plugin causing the conflict. I’m going to keep going here
   down my plugin list. I will let you know if I have any more plugin ish. Also,
   since the issue is coming from the Display Widgets plugin, is there another way
   for me to get rid of that widget banner title appearing on my front page? Thanks.

 * It seems to only work when the reading settings are to posts and the customized
   settings are to static page, then the links work correctly, otherwise they do
   not. And, no matter which of these is set which way, the call to action and the
   4 box widgets never show up.

 * I’m having problems with the front page again, now with the correct page loading
   with the banner. In experimenting with this, I created a page I titled as Any
   page I like with the same Template Sidebar only. While the static page was selected,
   under Front page, I selected My Front Page, and under Posts page, Home of Spirit
   was selected.
 * When I clicked the primary menu link for My Front Page, called Welcome, I got
   the front page listing Any page I like, Home of Spirit and My Front page.
 * Clicking the Home of Spirit link in the primary menu bar got me to the same page,
   which technically is the “My Front Page/Welcome” page.
 * I then changed the Front Page selection under the static page setting to Any 
   page I like, and the pages switched places. Home of Spirit was still selected
   as the posts page, but when I clicked on the Welcome link in the primary menu
   bar, it brought me to the main blogroll page with the banner at the top. When
   I clicked Home of Spirit in the primary menu bar, then Any page I like appeared
   correctly as the front page should be appearing.
 * When I checked the links under this new setting, Any page I like has crossofpain.
   com; the “Welcome/My Front Page” page has [http://crossofpain.com/my-front-page/](http://crossofpain.com/my-front-page/);
   and the Home of Spirit has crossofpain.com.
 * I don’t understand why the links keep switching around. I deactivated quite a
   few plugins to try to see if I could figure out what was affecting this, but 
   I may have to deactivate more. It was fine until I checked the reading settings
   earlier after communicating with you, and found them again on posts. Once I changed
   it back to My Front page, then these problems came up again, and I’m right back
   to where I started with this not working right at all.
 * I am putting the site back under maintenance mode again. This is ridiculous.

   know that the text, “My Front Page” is showing up on the site.

 * My site is currently in maintenance mode, but I can deactivate it temporarily.
   
   I did notice that you added the info on the sidebars. I checked off “front” under
   Miscellaneous, and removed the other checkmarks, but it is still not working.
   Also I noticed something else with the instructions.
 * “The button is a Shortcode, so you will want to replace the URL to where you 
   want the button to link to, followed by changing the label of the button from“
   Download This Theme” to your own.”
 * This actually confused me a moment ago when I was reviewing the instructions 
   again, because suddenly, I thought it was telling me to go to the actual button
   to download the theme. It didn’t make sense, so I checked what the actual text
   on the sample showed. On the instructions, the code I think you are referring
   to actually says,
 * “<p>[](https://wordpress.org/themes/longevity/)Download Longevity<p>”
 * So am I correct in thinking that when the instructions refer to changing Download
   this theme to your own, it is referring to this part of the code that says Download
   Longevity? Just making sure. I am going to remove maintenance mode on my site
   temporarily.

 * Hi,
 * I have tried on 4 occasions to get back to you, but the universe of computer 
   ish prevented me. Ok. To answer your questions:
 * “Are you wanting to create a static front page like the demo and have your blog
   inside your site? If so, what page template did you assign to the page and also,
   I’m assuming you have the pages set from the Reading settings in your WordPress?”
 * Yes, I want a static front page like the demo, and my blog inside the site. I’ve
   had this theme for a while on my old site, but never had the static front page.
   I want that on this new site.
 * The template I assigned to my front page is Template sidebars only.
 * Yes, I changed the setting in the Reading setting because it would not work the
   way it was supposed to under the customization settings. In that area, the setting
   is blog posts, and in the Reading setting, the setting is Static page.
 * “Jetpack and Display Widgets
    If you are using Jetpack, it’s important to make
   sure you do not have any other plugin active that does this kind of function.
   With the Widget Visibility enabled, you want to make sure that when you are doing
   the settings on a widget, to make sure you are setting the widget to “Show” when
   you are selecting pages or other types of areas. Same goes for the “Hide” when
   selecting pages. This is often missed. So after doing this, you widgets are not
   showing on the pages you select to show them on?”
 * Your statement here is confusing. I shut off the Jetpack functionality for the
   widgets, because I initially had both on; yet still, the Display widget plugin
   is not giving me the desired affect your instructions indicated.
 * Your statement is confusing because you mention how “Show” and “Hide” are supposed
   to be used when selecting pages or other types of areas, but you don’t tell me
   which one is supposed to be used in this case, nor what pages or types of areas
   each apply to to make this work.
 * I didn’t miss that point when you first pointed it out. I went back and disabled
   that function in Jetpack, but the Display widget did not work, whether I selected“
   Show” and indicated the front page or if I selected “Hide” and indicated all 
   other pages. It didn’t work either way.
 * Additionally, there were similar other options. There was “front”, as well as“
   front page” and “home”. This is why I had to change the labels for my home page,
   which is the blog roll, and the front page title, because I didn’t want it to
   say “Front page” on the actual front page.
 * I had to go into the customization side to change the “Front page” label so that
   the actual “front page” still existed. If I changed it in the page label itself,
   it would not work, and then I could not find it in the Display widget plugin 
   list.
 * Similarly, I had to direct the home link to my page labelled “Spirit” because
   that is the home page. My site is divided into Spirit, Mind, and Body, the later
   two will be subdomains, with their own home/blogroll, so that distinction had
   to be made. But that point really had no affect on the situation, other than 
   my need for the home-blogroll page to be linked to my menu bar under the word
   Spirit.
 * So the menu bar is working just fine with those name changes. However, I still
   cannot get the call to action to show up, nor the front page widgets that would
   be directing viewers to the sections of my site. That is the remaining problem.
   Even with the default page setting at Template sidebars only, none of those functions
   are working.
 * “What sidebar positions are you wanting to show a widget on and for what page?”
 * I don’t think the issue is regular sidebar widgets. The issue is that the Top
   1-4 and the Call to Action are not even visible on my customization side, so 
   despite my placing the text widgets in them per the instructions, none of them
   are visible.
 * I don’t know if they are supposed to be visible on the customization side, but
   it simply makes sense that they should, because how can I customize something
   that is not there. The only widgets that show up on that side of things are the“
   Blog Right Sidebar, Bottom 1-4, Banner, Breadcrumbs, Footer & Header Sidebar.”
 * I can add widgets to those, but no where else. If I’m supposed to be setting 
   up that front page, shouldn’t the correct widgets be available in the customization
   side as well as the back office under widgets?
 * I put the text in just like the instructions said. I changed exactly what the
   instructions said to change. I put the ! in front of the text name to hide the
   text box name, and I checked and rechecked it. So do you want to see the code
   that I have with my changes? Thanks for the help.

 * Hello,
 * I tried this trick, but it resulted in redirecting my blog feed completely out
   of the picture. I had to relabel my front page, and my home page, which is listed
   as Spirit, since my site will be a multisite with subdomains. I found that I 
   got the front page loaded, but even when I did what you said here with the static
   front page, it still did not cause my widgets to load; not the call to action,
   nor the 4 widgets. In order not to lose my main page – blog roll, I have to leave
   the setting at latest blog posts, or else, I completely lose that page. Have 
   you got any advice for me? Thanks.

 * I don’t think that’s the issue, because one of my sites has a Twenty theme, and
   the pop-up is still happening on that site as well. I did previously disable 
   all the plugins, and it was still happening. So it’s gotta be something else.
   Got any other suggestions? Thanks.

 * Ok. I will try that. I think I downloaded it, then I ended up letting my web 
   guy go and forgot about it. It also could be that I downloaded more than one 
   plugin to send out tweets, and tried the other one first. I’m struggling to manage
   3 sites, so I’m a bit absent minded. Let me see if I can get it set up in settings
   and I’ll let you know. Thanks.

 * Yes Joe, that is correct, however, I found out that the problem seemed to be 
   coming from another plugin. I wish I could remember the name at the moment, but
   I already deactivated and deleted it, and the contactme plugin from all my sites.
   Apparently, it broke the theme on the one site, but the problem on that site 
   seems to have fixed itself a day after I deleted the plugin.
 * However, there is a new issue on my main site that perhaps you can assist me 
   with. I’m getting messages like this:
 * Deprecated TinyMCE API call: <target>.onInit.add(..)
 * I’ve gotten that one several times now, but I have no idea what this means or
   what it is trying to tell me is wrong. Do you know about this? Thanks so much.
