Using the Affinity template, how do I go about removing the FrontPage "Module" or component? When it's empty just shows up as an empty block on my page. Here's what I tried so far:
- Changing the "show on FrontPage" value to false for every article
- Going into the Home menu and changing all "basic parameters" to false
- Changing the Home menu to "external link" instead of a "front page blog layout" but that just returns a 404
Edit
I also tried the method on this page www.bigspring.co.uk/research/hiding-joomla-frontpage-content but it still shows the empty block - Last Edit: 14 years 1 month ago by Solrac The Jedi.

Hi,
In the menu manager, add the page class suffix: hideit
to your "Home" menu item in Parameters (Advanced)
Then add the following to the bottom of your template.css file
for the entire main areaor for only the article area.hideit #main-body-surround {display: none !important;}.hideit #main-body {display: none !important;}

- Hmm, I tried it but it doesnt seem to work. You're talking about the "/templates/rt_affinity_j15/css/template.css" file right?

I noticed that the link value in the Home Menu is "index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage", which obviously takes you to the frontpage-page. I tried looking around the files in "/components/com_content/" but not really sure what to look for. - Obsessed is a word used often by the lazy, in order to describe the dedicated.

- I still can't get this to work. I did some reading and found out that certain templates don't support page class suffix, could this be the case? I don't see why it wouldn't work.

- I am sorry I should have checked with you on this first. When I logged into your site's admin area the first thing I noticed in the template parameters (in the template manager) was that the display frontpage component was set to "Show". Setting this option/feature to "Hide" solves your issue.

- Hmm, this seems to only remove the white area and not the entire component - which is a step up! I can't however seem to remove the main-body-surround even with the code.

- please go into your global configuration and enable the FTP layer (in the server section of the global config) and make sure your enter the correct FTP login info. Then save the global config. It seems that your page class suffix is not showing.
