    Hello,

    I just purchased Avada, the GD Avada child theme and compatability plugin and am starting to play with it.

    I’m wondering if the GD default home page can be changed in favor of one of Avada’s home page options.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Marsha,
    From the geodirectory settings,in design you can untick the option to set the GD homepage. You can then use the page you want, as usual, and use the GD widgets or set the listing page to another page of your choice. To do that you can go to the permalinks setting (within geodirectory).

    I had this exact question and was happy to find the answer, so I set up an Avada home page unticked the box making GeoDirectory the home page and then realized that there is no (obvious) way to put widgetized content in a main content area on the page – only the sidebar (and footer, etc) is widgetized.

    Simone made it sound like I *should* be able to use GD widgets in pages, and I’ve read other posts here that indicate one purpose of the Avada child theme is to allow that. But if it’s possible I can’t figure out HOW. Could someone describe the process and/or any safe workarounds?

    Hello Vicki, you can either put widgets on your custom homepage (yes, in sidebar or any other widget-area) or you can customise the GD homepage(with NON-wp widgets). GD Home page has many widget-areas in both sidebar, top content middle section and footer.

    Simone, the issue is that I wanted to put widgets in a non-widgetized area. Apparently there’s no way within Avada to do this so I tried this plugin,
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/
    which seems to be working. It allows me to create a shortcode for the GD widget and insert that in non-widgetized areas in Avada
