The Front Page Template Builder in BlogNews lets you design a fully customized homepage using Elementor.
Instead of a static homepage or the theme’s default layout, you can create a dynamic, drag-and-drop front page that displays posts, categories, sliders, ads, and any Elementor widget.
This gives complete flexibility to create a unique news portal or magazine homepage.
How to Create a Front Page Template
Follow these steps to build a front page:
- Go to the WordPress Dashboard.
- In the left sidebar, navigate to BlogNews → Site Builder.
- Click the Front Page tab.
- Click Create Template to open the Elementor editor.
- Use Elementor widgets and BlogNews custom widgets (like Post Grid, Post Slider, Categories, and Ads) to design your homepage.
- After completing your design, click Publish.
Content & Display Settings
When building the front page, Site Builder provides:
- Template Title → for identifying your front page design.
- Display Condition → set it as the default homepage for the site.
- Edit with Elementor → drag-and-drop builder for customization.
Styling Controls
Since the front page is designed with Elementor, all BlogNews widget styling options are available:
- Layout Controls: Choose between grid, list, slider, or mixed layouts.
- Box Settings: Background color/image, padding, margin, border radius, and shadow.
- Typography Settings: Customize headings, post titles, category labels, and excerpts.
- Responsive Controls: Adjust column layouts, font sizes, and spacing for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Pro Tip
- Use the Post Grid + Slider combo for a dynamic news portal look.
