Have you seen Elementor?

Our flagship product, Layers has been acquired by the team at Elementor.

Preset Layout

  2. Select the number of slides from the Post Count menu

This section displays post images or videos in a four-column layout

  1. Select the Category 
  2. Select the number of slides from the Post Count menu
Dual Column

This section displays larger post thumbnails and excerpts in a two column layout – video posts do best in this section

  2. Select the number of slides from the Post Count menu

Click Save when finished and reload your home page to view the changes.

Widget Driven Layout

The aim of widget driven layout is to give you much more control over your home page layout, content and widget options. By using widgets you will be able to determine exactly how much content, and the type of content, that is displayed.

Once active you will need to go to Appearance → Widgets to setup your widgets, which is covered in the next article.
