Colibri borked defaults in Hillstar Theme

    When I first installed Hillstar (a Colibri theme) it had a section at the bottom of the home page, below the hero image, where blog posts were showing up with a (temporary) purple image and a link to the post.

    As soon as I installed and activated Colibri, it removed all of that (and changed other things I had already tweaked, very annoying), and now I can’t figure out how to get it back.

    The best way to see how it was originally is to look at the WP theme demo for Hillstar and scroll down to the bottom half of the home page: https://wordpress.org/themes/hillstar/preview/

    Any help getting this back would be greatly appreciated. I will end up uninstalling Colibri if I must, but I was hoping to use it for some other elements I want to customize. Thank you!

    UPDATE: Even worse. I just discovered that if you click on the word BLOG in the top nav menu (a word/link that was not there before installing Colibri) it brings up a page titled BLOG (which has the layout that used to be on the home page below the hero image, so that’s interesting). But this page is located at /blog. This page (or category?) did not exist before Colibri and I do not want a “blog” as a subsection of my site. I just want the posts on the home page.

    I did some more digging and figured it out. Hopefully this will help someone else.

    • Found a page called “Blog” (with slug “blog”) and deleted it.
    • Found a page called “Front Page” (with slug “hillstar”) and deleted it.
    • Under Settings >> Reading changed it back to “home page shows most recent posts”

    All I can say right now is that it really would have been nice to know what was going to happen when I activated Colibri.
