Changing Home page slug?

  • Hi

    I am using the static home page feature to create a website and have an automatic menu bar generated at the top of the website.

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1’); ?>

    I can see how I can change the other page slugs by editing the permalinks in the wordpress pages, but I can’t see to do this withe the home page. I want the home page slug to be “home” but the text in the title of the page to be something different ie. “welcome to XXXXX”

    Is there any way I can o this please?

    Thanks

    Any ideas anyone please?

    The slug is used to create the page’s url: https://www.yoursite.tld/slug/. Your home page shouldn’t need a slug because it will be at https://www.yoursite.tld/.

    I have a similar issue. My URL (www.thevillagefarm.org) has no pages, it is only forwarded to my blog (https://ashlandvillagefarm.wordpress.com)

    I want my URL visitors to come to a static page, and not the blog/Home page. I made a “welcome” page, and made it static in Settings>Reading. The problem is that the wordpress designated “Home” page adopts/mimics the content of whatever page I make static, so then I have two pages with the same content and lose the blog format of the home page.

    How do I work around this?
    Can I delete the homepage, or rename it, or somehow make it appear as an option in the Readings Settings?

    I don’t care if the homepage or another page is the static front page, I just don’t want 2 pages with same content.

    Thanks so much!
