Title: Homepage Control Author: WooThemes Published: March 18, 2014 Last modified: August 27, 2020 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/homepage-control/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=877105) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/homepage-control_f8f8f8.svg) # Homepage Control By [WooThemes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/woothemes/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/homepage-control.2.0.3.zip) * [Details](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/homepage-control/#description) * [Reviews](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/homepage-control/#reviews) * [Installation](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/homepage-control/#installation) * [Development](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/homepage-control/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/homepage-control/) ## Description Using Homepage Control, any theme which uses a “homepage” (or other) hook to display components on a homepage, just got better. Re-order or disable any of the homepage components added by your theme, and control the display and order of any function hooked on to the “homepage” hook. Looking for a helping hand? [View plugin documentation](http://docs.woocommerce.com/document/homepage-control/). ### Usage Once activated, a “Homepage Control” item will display in the Theme Customizer ( Appearance > Customizer ). Visiting this screen will display a table of the possible homepage components, with options for re-ordering them, or disabling individual components. Once done, click the “Save Changes” button, to commit your new component order into the system. ## Screenshots * [[ * The Homepage Control administration screen. ## Installation Installing “Homepage Control” can be done either by searching for “Homepage Control” via the “Plugins > Add New” screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the following steps: 1. Download the plugin via WordPress.org. 2. Upload the ZIP file through the “Plugins > Add New > Upload” screen in your WordPress dashboard. 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 4. Visit the “Appearance > Customizer” section, select “Homepage Control”. There you can select the components you’d like to display, and in which order. ## FAQ ### No components show up in the administration area. Is my theme broken? Not at all. This simply means your theme doesn’t support the “homepage” action hook, which is a method of adding components to a homepage design. Please consult your theme developer if you have further queries about customising your homepage. ### What happens if I switch themes? Do I lose my settings? Not at all. 🙂 If you switch themes, Homepage Control will remember the homepage component settings for each theme you apply changes to, making switching themes a breeze. ### How do I contribute? We encourage everyone to contribute their ideas, thoughts and code snippets. This can be done by forking the [repository over at GitHub](http://github.com/woocommerce/homepage-control/). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7479485662812f1cc6353b48354925a0188171a3498754f92a5e9f0c294d8625? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Worked perfectly with Storefront theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-perfectly-with-storefront-theme/)󠁿 [philllupton](https://profiles.wordpress.org/philllupton/) February 18, 2021 Worked exactly as described with several themes including the storefront theme I settled on.
