2. A static page with the Modality Front Page template<\/h3>\n\n- Create a page (for example \u201cHome\u201d). In the editor\u2019s Template<\/em> setting, choose Modality Front Page<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- In Settings \u2192 Reading<\/em>, choose A static page<\/em> and select that page as the homepage. Pick another page as the posts page if you have a blog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The page now shows the sections, and the page\u2019s own content appears where Page content<\/em> sits in the section order. You can use the template on any page, not only the homepage.<\/p>\nA static homepage with the default template shows only its content, without sections. That is also how 1.x behaved.<\/p>\n
Turn sections on and off, and reorder them<\/h2>\n
Go to Appearance \u2192 Customize \u2192 Front Page Sections \u2192 Home Page Settings<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n- Tick the sections you want, such as Enable Image Slider<\/em> or Display Features Section<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Use the up and down buttons in Section order<\/em> to change the order. They work with the keyboard too, and the preview follows.<\/li>\n
- Fixed (parallax) section background images<\/em> keeps background images still while the page scrolls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
