I am building a wordpress theme that I am hoping to release for sale, and I am looking for some advice on creating a homepage with multiple content areas.
I know there are plugins to create multiple areas such as ACF etc. But if I am looking to sell this, so does anyone know how to build these multiple content areas within one page directly into the theme without using a third party plugin?

You could have some custom code in your functions.php to do this.

If you cannot be arsed to fuck around and its a low budget job - just use something like this - works a treat:
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plug…- sorry if no plugin then use custom fields, by the way ACF just makes that process a lot easier. It's not a risky plugin. One of the best.fadein11

Another option would be to use ACF, but require it with theme activation. ACF has a tutorial on how to do this.
- I use the hell out of ACF. Quick and easy.

ACF is really good, I just wasn't sure whether it could be bundled or designed to be used with a theme in that way. Ultimately the simplicity and the clean design of this plugin would make me use this.
I can't think of seeing any purchase themes that have this used in it though.- Hue here is your answer: https://www.advanced…
