Is it possible to re order the sections on the homepage?
I like the layout of the ‘About’ section, but don’t want it at the top of the page.
Was thinking maybe creating a child theme with some code in the function file to get the desired effect?

No, There is not option to reorder the section.
You need to make a copy of front-page.php file and then reorder the code.

Hey there,
I have tried re-ordering the code in the front-page.php but somehow it does not change the order on my website. Are there any more steps that i should do other than the reordering of codes?

I’ve been playing with the homepage layout as well, and there’s a file called home-template.php in the templates folder – when I edit that one, my changes show up. Working with front-page.php doesn’t seem to do anything.

Hi,
It depends on what setting you are on. If the Setting for the Front Page display in Settings -> Reading Menu is “Latest Post” then you need to edit front-page.php file but the setting for Front Page Display is “Static Page” and the selected page has template “Home Page” used then you need to edit template-home.php file.

Hi Suzy – I don’t see anything re-order on that file (home-template.php)in my editor. Can you share what code you input to reorder your sections? Much appreciated!

Hi,
I can not find the front-page.php file anymore, and template-home.php file doesn’t list the different sections since the last update. Could you please help so we can re-order the different sections of the home page?
Many thanks,
Manu

Hi-
I just found out it is now in a file called:
total-functions.php
If you are working with a child theme, paste the below in your functions php and change the order to what you want.
Hope this helps!
if( !function_exists(‘total_home_section’) ){
function total_home_section(){
$total_home_sections = apply_filters(‘total_home_sections’,
array(
‘slider’,
‘about’,
‘featured’,
‘blog’,
‘portfolio’,
‘service’,
‘team’,
‘counter’,
‘testimonial’,
‘logo’,
‘cta’
)
);
return $total_home_sections;
}
}

Here is how to change the order. In the function.php of child theme add the below code. Now you just need to change the order of the $array
```
add_filter("total_home_sections", "total_new_home_sections");

function total_new_home_sections($array){
$array = array("slider","about","featured","portfolio","service","team","counter","testimonial",	"blog","logo","cta");
return $array;
}
```

Just paste it at the bottom of the function.php and change the order in the above code.
Thats should work.
