Template to make site just like Say What preview version?

Greetings!!

Getting back into blogging after 2 years away, and maybe my brain has gone to mush. I installed the Say What theme and love the layout that is on the preview. I’ve been been trying for several hours to figure out how to get my site to look just like the layout of the preview. I’ve played around with all of templates in the Blog and Post Templates located in the Layout Settings and still can’t figure it out. I have a feeling it could be something so simple. But…d’oh! Thanks in advance!

Let me add my site url just in case: http://www.dcmumbosauce.com. Not sure if the fact I have previous content from the years before I quit blogging is making it difficult for me. Guessing it may have been easier if I started from scratch? Don’t want to lose the old content though.

HI

Please take some time and carefully go trough theme’s documentation which can be found here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/ There we explained in great details all theme’s features, how to built the homepage, how to use Visual Composer page-builder and many other useful informations.
I’ve noticed that you imported say what demo without content which means that demo’s style will be applied over site’s content.
To build a homepage exactly like the one from our say what demo you can simple use this shortcode in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/ZwyXCXe6http://pastebin.com/9CACVfzE also use page-builder+latest as page template.

Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!

So now I’m not too sure where I should put the shortcode since the only page I have in my Pages tab is the About Me page. 🙁 Screenshot

Normally, you create a new page, like “home” and then edit that with Visual Composer.

SO, first you need a blank page to actually build anything — just as if you were making a new page for things like your bio, privacy statement, contact page, legal statement, etc.

You need a blank canvas to paint anything 🙂
