I run the website http://www.BroPaterno.com. I currently have the website set up so it has a small preview of the new post topics in the lower left-hand side. I would like to change it so the homepage looks like http://brobible.com. I like how it displays a large preview of the posts.

What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this?

Thank you so much,
Chase

Like as a widget?

[ewrewrewrr]

Preferably. The theme I am currently using is Cosmic Buddy so where the current content slider (also a widget) is is where I would like to have the blog posts.

Any other easier solutions?

@bropaterno first of all, nice customization of cosmic buddy

=== so where the current content slider (also a widget) is is where I would like to have the blog posts. ===
Can you not remove the content slider widget and replace that with Recent Posts widget? However, aren’t the posts on the lower left side of thee screen recent posts as well?

@mercime Thanks!

You are correct, I could remove the content slider, however I need a widget to replace it that does what I want. I want posts to be displayed as they are on a normal blog (such as http://www.brobible.com) Not just the little previews as I have it now.

@bropaterno I’m not that well versed with cosmic buddy’s options, but you could save copy of your home.php for file, then copy over the content of your theme’s index.php into home.php and that would be like the blog front page of brobble.com

Thank you, I will try this!

If anyone knows of any widgets that can do this in the meantime, please let me know!

Bump still need help

Using my previous link, up in etivite, all you do is put the code in the bp-custom.php file, and you have the widget.

@SVC How do I register the widget? And does the bp-custom.php need to be in a specific folder?
