I have moving from blogger to wordpress. Hybrid theme framework have i installed and using child theme. At the first time after install and activated Hybrid News Theme and Malleable, I have any some problem, why the front page or homepage display is not like demo. At demo Hybrid News, I see any slider post, excerpts post with thumbnail in left and list posting (headlines) by category at bottom post. Having you same problem with me? Follow small tutorial from me when install theme.
FrontPage-Hybrid-News-Theme
Setting up Homepage/Front Page Hybrid News/Malleable
*Note : Hybrid News and Malleable Child Theme is same at php scripting but different at CSS and page menu. You also can install plugin hybrid tab widget for Hybrid News and Malleable Child Theme at sidebar.
1. Add New Page with Template Front Page.
Login to your admin, Page -> Add New. At the Title write “Home” and look at right “Attributes -> Template” choose “Front Page”. And Click Save
2. Setting Your Front page displays with Static Page
From Setting -> Reading, at Front page displays choose static page. Front page: Home
3. Setting Category to displayed in Slider (Featured), Excerpts and Headline. You can see at picture at top.
From Appearance -> Hybrid News/Malleable
Posting and Thumbnail for Hybrid News/Malleable Theme
For display thumbnail in left of posting or in featured category, you can use custom field in Hybrid Post Setting.
Post Setting
Thumbnail Field: For display left image in Front Page, the size is 150 x 150 px.
Medium / Feature: For display in Featured Category (Slider), size 230px × 200px.
Now, my blog has display like demo without any difference but I have customize own my CSS so look beautiful
