    I updated one text section on the home page and the formatting changed and is now showing a sidebar and throwing the page off. Is there a way to designate the template as a home page and not show the left default sidebar

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello,

    I don’t see sidebar on the Home page. Please provide us with the direct page link where you want to remove sidebar from and wp-admin panel credentials in Private Content.

    Thank you.

    Hi Eva
    I figured out how to change the page back to the settings but every now and then the home page will revert to a default page setting with no slider or widget area selected and the page title will change. It seems odd that this would happen. unfortunately I can’t show an example. maybe next time it does i will send it over.
    Thanks for the reply.
    regards,

    Hi Alison,

    I am having the same problem on the homepage. The left sidebar appears and throws the homepage off. I can’t get the search on the left sidebar to go away.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Eva
    This keeps happening. Every time I go into save the home page after edits it will revert back to the default settings (sidebar widgets and no slider selected) and the name of the page will actually change to whatever the first post is under the blog. very bizarre behavior. I’ve never seen anything like that happen in wordpress. I took some screen shots that I can send to you.
    Have you heard of this happen before?
    Thanks
    Alison

    Hi Eva

    Basically this is what’s happening. I have the home page setup with the slider and the page title is called home page. It is exactly like the demo home page. When I go back into the page and edit it and click save the page will take on settings from the first blog post.
    From the screen shots you can see the page URL is the home page; however “hello world” is the title which is the title of the only blog post from the default install. Also the widget area is set to default and the slider is no longer selected. I go and update the page back to the settings and click save. The page then looks fine until the next time I make edits and this will happen all over again.
    I hope this explains what’s happening. It is very bizarre and It is happening on both installs of the theme that I purchased.
    Thanks for your help.
    regards,
    Alison

    Hello,

    Could you please provide us with wp-admin panel credential to check this issue?
    Also look at Settings > Reading and check what page is selected for “Front page”.

    Thank you.

    This happens to me as well. I have found that if changes to the home page are made using the frontend editor weird things happen (as you described), but if you make the changes using the backend editor nothing bad happens. Try using only the backend editor for the home page until 8theme gets the bug fixed.

    The home page is set correctly to the “home page”. It is the only page on the site since I’m using the single page layout.

    I understand (I am alao using a one page template). When editing your page via visual composer, only do it through the backend editor and see if that makes a difference. Let me know how that works out for you.

    If I use the frontend editor, my page name changes to something random, my revaluation slider disappears, and I get a side bar. I have to go back in and change everything back, but this doesn’t happen with the backend editor.
