How to make a custom HomePage

[thecuriosky]

I want to make a custom homepage instead of the default homepage that came with the demo2. I tried customizing the default homepage but it is built with page builder plugin which doesnot have much options compared to Visual Composer. So I created a new page and added some content to it and chose the template Slider Revolution Blank Template https://prnt.sc/i0bjr0 which yields result like this http://prntscr.com/i0bkmj but the main menu is missing in the header. How can I bring that? http://prntscr.com/i0blin - this is the default page built with page builder plugin http://prntscr.com/i0bkmj  - this is the custom page built with visual composer but missing main-menu.

FYI I tried with No title template and barebones template none worked as well.

Hi, there is a simple way to make your home page look like demo2. Please go to wp-admin>wplms>demo switcher then choose the demo you want and import its home page.   Refer : http://prntscr.com/i0l2fa

No this is not anticipated reply. The thing is I want to create a homepage but it must be built with Visual composer only meaning it should not be built with Page Builder. I guess my issue is not properly understood here, so let me put this properly. I have imported all the contents from demo2 including the homepage but I want to make some modifications to my homepage but the default Page builder is not as powerful as Visual Composer. So keeping all other content intact I want to create a new page, so I name it Homepage-2 and then Using Visual composer front end editor I edit the page and use no title/barebone/slider revolution blank template. Now the issue is menu is not appearing anywhere. check the screenshots in above post. If you still dont understood my issue i will post a video of it.

Hi, We have already integrated our page builder with VC, now you can find all our blocks in the VC, refer: http://prntscr.com/i16fwh So if you want to create it from the scratch then you can use these blocks in the VC and create your own custom home page. If you have our page builder content then simply generate the shortcode and use it in the VC, refer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0RsQvmDuSM

But how can I get the menu. this convo is going completely out of context. I know that Page builder is integrated with VC but I cant see menu when I create a page from scratch. I want to create a new Home-Page with transparent menu only using VC but the thing  is I m getting everything as I want except there's no menu on that page SC- http://prntscr.com/i0bkmj

Hi, The menu is a part of the header and currently, the header cannot be built with VC. You can customize the whole page with VC but not the header and footer. ----------- We also have a transparent header which you can use from appearance->customize->header->header style.

If you can create your own custom menu then you can set the page template (present below the update/publish button in backend) as barebone. In this page template there is no header and footer, i.e. you can create your own landing page using this template.

Is there any way I can use the header only on a page with Visual Composer but a transparent one? Suggest me steps even if it involves going to Appearance >> Editor and doing all that stuff.

[thecuriosky]

All I want to achieve is a Page where there's a transparent menu and I can add elements to it using visual composer which is not allowed since the page builder is active on that homepage. Is there any way I can communicate through my screencast with you? Like skype or something.

Hi, Ok, you want to create a page with the transparent header but other pages should not be affected by this. We can take this as a paid customisation and we'll provide you a page template which you can select on any page and on that particular page the transparent header will be shown. Let me know if you are interested.
