A website's homepage is your first impression on visitors. Here's how to set it up and manage it effectively:

Checking Your Current Homepage

1. Open the "Pages" menu
2. Look for a house icon next to a page title - this indicates your current homepage

Setting a New Homepage

1. Hover over the desired page title
2. Click the settings icon (•••)
3. Scroll to "Set as Homepage"
4. Click Confirm
5. Save changes

The house icon will move to your newly designated homepage.

Managing Your Homepage

After setting your homepage, you can:

• Delete or rename the old homepage
• Move the new homepage to top of navigation
• Hide it from navigation menus by moving it to "Not Linked"
• Customize its appearance and content

Troubleshooting Common Issues

404 Error Message If you see a "Not Found" message, check:

• Homepage isn't disabled (should appear in black, not gray)
• Template preview settings (Version 7.0)
• Homepage deletion status

Missing "Set as Homepage" Button

• Pages within an index cannot be homepages
• Move the page outside the index first
• Once set as homepage, it cannot be moved back to an index

Best Practices

• Ensure your homepage is always active
• Keep navigation logical and user-friendly
• Test your homepage across different devices
• Regularly update content to keep it fresh

Note that visitors can always return to your homepage by clicking your logo or site title in the navigation.

For Version 7.0 users: If using template previews, ensure proper homepage setup when switching templates to avoid display issues.
