Homepage does not work

Hi @rashah,

You can set a Static Page to be used as the front/home page on the site.

In Dashboard select Appearance -> Customize -> Static Front Page and you should be able to select that page to be the front page IF the page is managed by WordPress.

Is index.php/homepage written in WordPress or coming from somewhere else?

Wow! Thank you so much! That did the trick! index.php/homepage is coming from WordPress. Now that I have set my true homepage https://www.vrajyouth.org/ to static, what should I do with index.php/homepage? Is it floating out in limbo? Is there a way to delete it? Now I have 2 pages that have the same content.

All right @rashah- that’s great!

You have lots of choices on next steps, including just leaving it alone now ?? Keep in mind that the page is still there and being used, so you do not want to delete! WordPress is embedding it into your front page dynamically. You’ll edit that original page when/if you want to update the content and those changes will show on the front page automagically.

You can change the name of that page if you want though it’s unnecessary. If you edit the index.php/homepage page you could change the permalink setting (right under the title) and just rename it “homepage” or something like that. Then make sure your static page setting still points to it. Could cause more confusion, so I’d recommend leaving it.

Best wishes, hope it helps!

I think I’ll just leave it alone then ??

Thanks again!
