Setting a custom homepage
When you want to decide what to show on the homepage
Sometimes you don’t want the default WordPress homepage to be the first page your visitors view when visiting your site. Sometimes a theme will require you to set a custom homepage. Either way you’ll have to set up a custom homepage:
- Login to your WordPress admin panel
- Go to Pages → Add new
- Give your new page a new, e.g. Homepage
- Click the Publish button
- Go to Settings → Reading
- Set “Front Page Displays” to “A static page (select below)”
- Set “Front page” to the page you just created
- Alternatively you could also set a custom page to hold your blog posts
