Replace 3 Column Feature by any Post or Page

Hello,

I've used the blackbird theme in my new creation. Though I like the theme I'd prefer to have the columns on the frontpage removed and replaced by a Post or Page. I know this should be done in the page called "front/page.php", but don´t know the exact code to get/extract a post from the database.

Is this something that can be replaced easily? If so, how is this done?

Rgrds,
Willem

 

Hello,

Go to front-page.php present in your theme directory and remove the code from line no.172 to 224.

Now, Download the Special Recent Posts plugin from WordPress.org and upload it.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/special-recent-posts/installation/

and add its shortcode in front-page.

Code:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[srp]'); ?>

Thanks Gourav,
That did indeed solve the case.
