Announcements widget on homepage

[Ilay]

Hello, is there anyway to make an announcements widget on homepage?

[Andy]

You can add any content you like to your homepage.

How?

[Andy]

In your Dashboard go to Pages, click edit for the page you want to edit (in this case the page that is set as your homepage). Now, in the editor, type your content into the page and click Publish to save.

If you are using a plugin to create the “announcements” content, the plugin may have either a shortcode or a block that can be used. For this you should look into the plugin’s support/documentation/help for more information regarding how to add it to a page.

But I cant edit the homepage because its the theme’s homepage and wordpress doesn’t let me.

Sorry, I do not understand.

The homepage is editable in just the same way as any other page, and WordPress should not prevent you from being able to edit it.

Can you please give me some more information about this issue;
What happens when you go to ‘Pages’ > ‘Edit’ for the homepage (or any page)?
Do you see an error message?
Does the page editor load correctly?
Something else?

[Ilay]

Whatever I do is like I am doing nothing, it doesn’t show anything special I have done.

Are you using the theme’s homepage sections?

If so, make sure that ‘Page Content’ is enabled at Customize > Homepage Sections > Activate/Sort Sections
