Hi Brad,

Thank you for exploring this added functionality for Authority Pro (and the rest of your site is a big help). This tutorial is the reason I signed up to your site and bought the Authority Pro theme. It would be incredibly handy for me to have a duplicate (or multiple duplicates) of the front page, as I’m building a non-profit site that has two main arms but doesn’t really warrant a multisite. But I have to admit I was pretty disappointed with the results of this particular tutorial. As you have to get your elbows deep into code every time you need to customise the new content. This means I won’t be able to easily hand this to a content coordinator or volunteer without documentation, training and a lot of time. I’m not even confident that I’ll be able to get the content on the page in the first place (and I have an active interest in trying to work out this stuff). I was hoping for easy-to-use widgets or equivalent for the new sections (basically a duplicate front page).

There are some additional functions that have been added to the Customiser, and there are some extra widgets too, which I really appreciate—the new Footer Template section works great (though they do a weird thing: the second widget is always one-column, unless you have a third; the fourth is always one-column, unless you have a fifth, etc.) . Otherwise it’s awesome. Thank you. Both the Hero Section and the Footer section show up in the Replicant Customiser (and are the same sections on the Front Page), but they don’t actually show on the page. There’s also something skewy with the ct4 bottom margin, but I should be able to iron that out with CSS.

Sorry to be the bearer of a gripe, but those custom fields are problematic, and it’s not clear that they’re the solution offered on the tin. Any chance you can revisit this tutorial?
