You can set any page on your site as your homepage - the first page visitors see when landing on your site. Here's how to manage your homepage settings.

Checking Your Current Homepage

  1. Open the Pages panel
  2. Look for the home icon next to a page title - this indicates your current homepage

Setting a New Homepage

  1. In the Pages panel, hover over the page title and click the settings icon
  2. Scroll down to find "Set as Homepage"
  3. Click "Set as Homepage"
  4. Click "Confirm" in the popup message
  5. Click "Save"

After Setting a New Homepage

  • The new page will display the home icon
  • The previous homepage remains in place but loses the home icon
  • You can delete or rename the old homepage
  • Consider moving the new homepage to the top of your navigation menu
  • Optionally hide it from navigation by moving it to the "Not linked" section

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you see a "Page Not Found" error, check:

  • Your homepage isn't disabled (should not appear gray in Pages panel)
  • You haven't deleted your live template's homepage (version 7.0)

Version 7.0 Specific Notes:

  • Pages within an index can't be set as homepage
  • Remove a page from an index before setting it as homepage
  • Homepage pages can't be moved into an index

Remember: Visitors can always return to your homepage by clicking your site title or logo.
