Prime News — Setting Up the Homepage

This article refers to Prime News

Prime News works with your latest posts on the front page (keep Settings → Reading on “Your latest posts”) and is assembled from the featured area, widget-driven category sections, and the Recent Posts loop.

The Prime News homepage

Homepage structure

From top to bottom:

  1. The Header Bar — the recent-posts carousel strip above the logo (a widget area; the demo uses the WPZOOM: Carousel Slider widget there).
  2. The logo with Header Social Icons, then the main menu with the hamburger button that opens a sliding widget panel.
  3. The Breaking News Bar.
  4. The Featured Area — slider in the middle, widget areas on each side.
  5. Featured Categories areas above and below the Recent Posts loop, plus the Dark Section — see Featured Categories & Homepage Sections.
  6. The Recent Posts section (your latest posts), the Footer Instagram Bar, and the footer columns.

Recent Posts options

In WPZOOM → Theme Options → Homepage → Recent Posts:

Recent Posts options
  • Hide Recent Posts on Homepage — for a fully widget-built, curated front page.
  • Title for Recent Posts, Exclude categories, and Hide Featured Posts in Recent Posts? (on by default).

The number of posts comes from Settings → Reading → Blog pages show at most.


What each post shows

Theme Options → General → Homepage Posts controls the homepage listing (Content: Excerpt/Full/None, excerpt length, featured image, category, author, date, comments count, Read More); Category Posts does the same for archives:
