Theme is too over-controlling
by orenwp·6 months ago·1 reply

Loved the look of this theme would have been perfect for my needs as a game dev – the problem is the home page refuses to display my custom basic home page – I like the blog slider but wanted to have it lower in the page – nope! not an option choosing my custom home page does nothing basically forces you to have the slider as the home page without being able to choose where to place it – furthermore, I cant display the H1 title of that homepage which limits SEO on it as well – this is lousy, sorry. Time to remove the theme and move on- Was going to pay for the pro version until I realized how limited my options were with configuring the homepage layout.
