Moodle 4.1, LearnR v4.2.r8 (2023071008) Currently the home page of the site is shown to the visitor (not logged in) with the block drawer closed - only an arrow to open it. How can I make it to be open by default?

Hey Visvanath. This problem isn't just a LearnR theme problem, but one for any boost based theme.

There are a couple of fixes that work. My preferred one is to use the Admin > Appearance > Additional HTML > Within Head: 

<script>
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
   if( window.matchMedia('(min-width: 700px)') ) {
      document.querySelector('#page-site-index .drawer-right-toggle button').click();
   }
});
</script>

This forces the block drawer open on the site index only and only if the page is greater than 700px wide.  For every page on the site, remove #page-site-index from the query selector.

If you feel comfortable building a child theme or even hacking the boost code, this tracker item https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-75303 has a means of modifying the code to achieve the same result.
