Discover how to set and manage your website's homepage effectively.

To check your current homepage:

1. Open the Pages panel
2. Look for the home icon next to a page title

Setting a new homepage:

1. Open the Pages panel
2. Click the desired page title
3. Scroll to find "Set as Homepage"
4. Click Confirm
5. Save your changes

After setting your homepage:

• Consider deleting or renaming the old homepage
• Move the new homepage to the top of navigation
• Optionally hide it from navigation by moving it to "No Links"

Troubleshooting homepage issues:

If you see a 404 error, check these common causes:

1. Disabled homepage

   • Solution: Set another page as temporary homepage, then re-enable and reset the original

2. Deleted template homepage (Version 7.0)

   • Solution: Either publish the preview template or restore the deleted homepage

Important notes:

• Pages within an index cannot be set as homepage (Version 7.0)
• Visitors can return to homepage by clicking site title/logo
• Custom 404 messages will display instead of default errors when configured

For optimal homepage performance:

• Ensure the page remains active
• Verify proper template configuration
• Maintain consistent navigation structure
• Consider SEO best practices
• Regular testing for accessibility

This setup ensures visitors can easily find and navigate from your homepage, improving overall site usability and user experience.
