Page as homepage?

  • Thank you for this wonderful theme!

    Does it support a page to be the homepage? I am asking because in my case it appears as a blog post instead of a page although the WP settings seem to be correct. I created another page and changed the WP settings accordingly to test it but it still appears as a post. By switching to one of the standard WP themes the homepage appears as a page.

  • Hello sankari,

    1. Login as admin and go on theme customizer Dashboard >> Apperance >> Customize or Click on Custimze link on top bar from front-end.

    2. Then navigate Static Front Page and checked the A Static Page radio button then select your Front/Home Page and your Posts Page then click on Save & Publish button.

    Hope this will helps you.

    Hello saurabh.dhariwal

    Thank you very much for your fast reply.

    I did so and also tried the other options in the front page layout section but it still appears as a blog post including the entry meta (byline, posted-on, posted-in) and the [more] link.

    Sorry, I was mistaking. It appears now as a page. I was confused because the preview of the customizer displayed it as a blog post only. Thank you very much for your help!

    There is still something wrong I am afraid: If I don’t select my test page but the actual homepage as my front page it appears as a blog post. The test page however appears as static page then.

    FYI – with this theme the blog post layout happens with any static page that is set as homepage while the other pages (except the blog) appear with a page layout. By switching to a WP standard theme the static homepage appears as it should (= page layout).

    Switching to another theme would be an option but I try to stick to Gatsby. For the time being, the following (nasty) work-around solved the issue:

    1. In the Theme Editor edit the front-page.php file.

    2. Replace this:

    		 			default:
		 				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'list' );
		 				break;
		 		}

    by this:

    		 			default:
		 				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' );
		 				break;
		 		}

    I am experiencing the exact same issue as @sankari. The hack works, but is obviously not ideal. Please fix, I really like this theme! Thank you.
