So i gave it a try. Everything worked like you explained. But i found out, that it doesn’t do what i need. This is what i want to accomplish:

Lets say i have two main menu items, e.g. Animals and Cars. Each of these have three menu sub-items:

Animals
– Apes
– Cats
– Dogs

Cars
– Mercedes
– Tesla
– Volkswagen

If a user clicks on “Apes”, it should show the page “Apes”, and scrolling down it should also show the pagees “Cats” and “Dogs”, as it does with the frontpage sections in the default Twenty Seventeen theme. If the user clicks on “Tesla” he should land on the page “Tesla”, but be able to scroll upwards towards “Mercedes” or downwards towards “Volkswagen”.

In other words, i would need the frontpage section functionality for each of my main menu items. It seems like i have to dig deeper into the customizer and see if i can duplicate the theme options menu, so i could choose the sections for each of my main menu items.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks again Martin for your exact tutorial.

I also find it a bit hard to follow.

Create a child theme and copy the parent’s “front-page.php” to a single page template, that is: “The template file used to render a static page (page post-type).”
with the name: page-{slug}.php

Does that mean: Copy “front-page.php” from folder “twentyseventeen” to folder “twentyseventeen-child” and then rename the copied file to “page-{slug}.php”?

a thumbnail-gallery of posts or pages on the front page, that’s exactly what i am looking for as well. did you find a solution?
