    Hi- i would be so grateful for some help. Here’s my url: https://www.smashmob.net/

    I’d like the landing (home page) to be a page, not a blog post so it remains in place. It is a post (not page) currently. Is there a simple way to make that happen? I tried just adding it as a page, but then it is not the site’s landing page. Thank you!!!

  • You go to “Settings–>Reading” and select “home page displays static front page” and select your new page from the drop down menu

    If you want a post page then you need to create a blank page publish and use that as post page

    Thank you very much for your help. The other issue is that I now have two HOME pages in my navigation. Any idea how I can fix that? Thanks!

    Need to see you header.php file so that i can tell to remove other Home link as it is hard coded in theme.
    Paste the code in https://wordpress.pastebin.com and then put url here so that I can see the code.

    I went in pastebin I saw the code follow the steps in the post above where you copied the code and in header.php look for this line

    <li class="page_item current_page_item"><a href="https://smashmob.net">Home</a></li>

    You can delete that line and the home page will be gone.
