    Hi,

    I sent an email to explain my query prior to purchasing the theme, i've now purchased the frame so hopefully i can resolve quickly.

    www.surreystoveinstallations.co.uk

    Currently this home page is set up as blog, not static. As when i change to static i loose the slider and the three horizontal widgets. I would like it to look as it does now but where the blog post is displayed i would like to display a couple paragaphs of welcome text.

    Can you please advise the best way to create this?

    Many thanks

    Louis

    Hello Louis,

    To upgrade the theme, you have to first delete the older theme from your dashboard.

    Note: - Please create a backup of your website before upgrading the theme.

    Please follow the video link to delete theme from your dashboard :-

    Now, download and install the latest version of the theme from members area.

    Or

    You can also try an easy way to install latest version of theme without creating any backup.

    Thanks Praveen,

    This is done now, thank you. Could you explain how i can change the "latest from the blog" section of the home page so i can have a small paragraph of text?

    Hello Louis,

    Go to Appearance->Theme Options->Home Page Testimonial Feature and write your text in Home Page Blog Heading Text section.
    See attachment for the reference.

    Hello Louis,

    Please clear it to me...

    Do you want to remove the blog slider and replace it with your text/paragraph?

    It will be better if you provide me some edited screenshot indicating your requirement.

    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,

    The first lot of code caused an error on the website : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/surreyst/public_html/wp-content/themes/compasstheme/front-page.php on line 401

    :-S
