the text "home" shows up underneath slider. how to remove?

Hi aha

Thanks for reaching out.

Head over to Pages > Home and locate the Page Template meta box in the right column, change the page template to Page Builder Home. For all other pages that you’d like to remove the page title and the sidebar, use the Full Width - No Page Title template.

Hope that helps 🙂
