I would like to show a BF page in the "Adspace - Blog home below nav" widget space, but I want it to show on a static front page.
Is there any way to make that work?

do you want it to show show the page on the static front page and on the blog index? or only on the frontpage?
Widgetareas/sidebars can be added to pages with the widgetarea shortcode (add it to the page editor):
[widgetarea sid="widgetarea-fp" sidebar="Adspace - Blog home below nav"]or create a custom sidebar in the theme settings and add it like this:
[widgetarea sid="widgetarea-fp" id="fpwidgets"]fpwidgets is the name of the custom sidebar. btw, I recommend to use the shortcode gui insert/update the shortcodes (click in the editor and then click the insert/update a shortcode button). All the parameters are listed there.
If you just want to include a page inside another page you can use the bfpage shortcode. Example:
[bfpage sid="bfpage-fp" name="mypage"]Posted 11 months ago # -
Wow, thank you for such a quick response! Yes, Id like it to show up only on the front page.
Ive inserted the widget containing the page using short code.
But the widget aligns itself within the content of the default page template that Im using for my static front page. I would like it to stretch across the whole width, also across the sidebar. Is that possible?
(The reason I need to use the default page template is because I need to use the Events Calendar widget in the sidebar, and the Events Calendar doesnt use shortcode. Otherwise I would use a no sidebar page template, add the events calendar in the page, and everything would work fine)

ok, so you want it above the content and sidebar, then you can add stuff to the "Feature HTML" input field below the page editor (shortcodes work).
