Hi, I put new theme on my site using Default Memo with content and deleted dummy content. baldhiker.com
1.I have tweaked the home page more where I want it but there are some boxes I can’t get rid of, eg I have latest posts in dynamic box at top plus latest posts list at bottom of homepage I can’t seem to get rid of in TagDiv composer (I presume because they are standard in demo I installed.
2. I also notice the content is quite narrow (on a desktop) and lots of white space left and right which makes photos look small and could be more appealing for me. I can’t find option to change width? If possible?
3. If I build my own homepage using TagDiv to replace the one from Demo. And then delete the demo theme install will that have a catastrophic affect on my content throughout site?
Thanks
Hello baldhiker,
Please provide your website URL and some useful screenshots so I will be able to provide a more accurate response/code. You should provide more visual details for a better understanding.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Catalin, sorry yes here is more info and screenshots:
1. When I activated the theme I Installed demo theme + content so I had a homepage straight away. (deleting all dummy posts of course)
I then tweaked the homepage to what I wanted as far as it would let me. url https://www.baldhiker.com/
2. It would let me delete rows but not the block containing latest posts at bottom of homepage as you can see in link above. I presume that is fixed in theme? As I use latest posts in block at top of homepage I would have duplicate content issues.
3. If that is the case I have tried making my own homepage page from scratch using Tagdiv in the background by copying some things from what I have. I add block at top then a row and widget sidebar but then a new row goes all way across stopping sidebar?

4. I personally feel that on desktop the content is really narrow on the articles.

is there a way to widen it or is that set in theme?
5. If I manage to make a new home page from scratch. Am I able to uninstall the default Demo theme or will that affect all my categories etc etc?

Hello Paul,
Before starting to create your project, please read our documentation regarding on TD Composer as page builder and what exactly you can do with it. The sidebar seems to works as expected at your homepage. For more details about Sidebar functionality, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-smart-sidebar/ Also, regarding on row layout of your width, you should know that all of these can be set up from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/HT8wptFdxf9K
Also, if you want to make a new homepage from scratch you should import the demo you like without dummy content and then, all of your created content will be loaded into your database.
If is not what you mean, provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
