I don't know if there's a way to do this within Roma's theme options. This is something you'd have to research in Roma's documentation.

It's possible to do it with a Roma child theme that contains a separate home.php template. That template would not contain the "article list", while other pages would still have it.

Okay. And if we were to make a child theme, I would have to start all over again, right?

No, a child theme inherits all structure and styling from the parent theme, save for those that are manually overridden. http://themeshaper.com/2009/04/17/wordpress-child-theme-basics/

I'm not sure whether theme settings - those Roma-specific configurations you've been entering in wp-admin - will be automatically kick in if you switch to a child theme. It's possible. If not, it's also possible that I can migrate them manually.

The motivatation behind making it a child theme, btw, is that I don't want to modify Roma itself - this means that it'll be impossible to apply future theme updates without breaking your customizations.

Okay, if it's easy for you and something that can be done today or tomorrow, let's do it. I have a deadline to finish tomorrow night, so I'm willing to try anything!

Laura - I'm going to be messing with the site for the next few minutes while I switch you over to a child theme. If you could, please step away from the keyboard until further notice.

Hi Boone,

This is great! Thank you so so so much for all of your help with this!! I really appreciate everything that you have done, especially since the turnaround time was so urgent. The site looks perfect, and it will definitely be ready to launch tomorrow.

Thank you thank you!!
