Homepage widget question

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi. Using the WordPress widget editor I successfully changed the widgets on the sidebar of my landing page. However, when I navigate to the homepage via the menu it went to a page with the old widgets. (goodsophist.com vs goodsophist.com/home/) I could not change widget column on /home/ via the WordPress widget editor, and could not find the widgets I wanted to add to the column on Visual Composer. I considered deleting each widget from the column but was not sure how I would get what I want back into it.

My workaround was to change the home menu button by adding a custom link back to the landing page rather than /home/. But this feels like a sub-optimal solution. Suggestions?

Hello,
Your homepage was not affected by the sidebar in the widgets are aof wordpress because on pages you can create qa custom sidebar directly in page edit separate from the standard wordpress widgets. You can split a row in a 2/3 + 1/3 column layout and add or remove elements directly on the page. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2wGizMz4X0
The split row does not count as a sidebar in the wordpress sidebars section

Thank you!
