I have a front page with the slug "home," It works just fine if I go to www.mydomain.com/home. I'm getting "Page not found" for www.mydomain.com. I want to remove the slug "home" from my page so that I will be able to see it on www.mydomain.com.
I've tried to go to customize -> Homepage settings and set my page as a static page, but it didn't work. I also tried to go to Settings-> Reading and define it from there. How can I make it works?
You can assign your page from here:
Settings->Reading
and then you can see the
Home Page Displays
section. In this section you need to select the A Static Page(Select Below) option. In the dropdown you need to select the value Home (the page you would like to display as the Home page display).
After making changes you can click on the Save button.

I want my landing page the same as my home page. I want it not to have a "slug" or URL address after the site's name. So, for example, when you go to "www.example.com", I want that to be my home/landing page.
Right now, when I go to "example.com", I get a page I don't recognize and didn't design. To find my home page, I can click on Home in the navbar, but the "slug" is ?page_id=6.
In the edit screen, I have clicked through "Pages ➞ All Pages ➞ Home ➞ Quick Edit ➞ Slug" multiple times. It always says that the slug for this page is home, but this is not how it appears on the web.
Furthermore, I don't want the slug for this page to be home, I want it to not have a slug at all. As I said above, I want the bare site name (example.com) to take me straight to the homepage.
Why does WordPress keep replacing "home" with ?page_id=6? And why won't it allow me to remove the slug and make this page my landing page?
How can I fix this?
First of all, visit 'permalinks' under 'settings' in your dashboard. It shows many options how your page URL should look like instead of page=x.
Thereafter, read this from WordPress site on how to declare which is your 'home' page when the site is accessed directly with site URL. That should resolve your problems.
Furthermore, generate and download a backup of your site using plugins like 'Duplicator' or other you maybe using so that you can always revert to previous status in case anything goes very wrong.
I installed storefront and at the end I untick the default homepage so it didn't create that page. So once the starter guide of storefront is over how can I get that default homepage back?
I tried deleting and installing the theme again but somehow that starter guide doesn't show up again.
I really want the layout of the default template, is there anyway I can get it back?
You need to assign the homepage template to a page.
Go to Dashboard > Pages > All Pages
Click on Add New to create a page
On the right you will find a box title Page Attributes
Select Homepage from Template
Click on Publish.
Now if you want to show this page as your homepage, go to Settings > Reading and make sure A static page (select below) is selected. Select the the page you've created earlier. Then click on Save Changes.
I am new to wordpress. I wanted to change my homepage to a static page, so I created a static page named home, then in Reading settings I set front page displays to Home. Now though clicking home button shows the contents of the page I have created, it shows two home buttons in my menubar. It looks very odd. How can I make it better.
You can customize the menu via Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menu.
Create a new menu and add the pages you need to show in menu.
Select the appropriate menu in center-left panel.
Try this way.
Through settings I set to show one static page (lets say I called it "static") as index page. And a blog page as a second page whch you can reach via menu. The static page is displayed just fine, but when I want to open any page with blog template (dynamic content) I get just the name "static", username and the date, and its displayed only once. Nothing more. I dont have an idea of where I could look for the problem.
Which wordpress version you are using?
Hope you done it like this(Double check it).
Settings > Reading > Front Page Display.
Then you select the "A static page" radio button. And sets both "Fron Page" and "Post Page".
Also for further investigation, can you provide the site link?
I would like to show a custom page when activate my theme with an Enter link instead of posts in the content area and also need to show same header, sidebar and footer as other pages. When click on the Enter our blog works same as other thems.Please help me.
I would create the page that you want to use as the index page in your wordpress admin panel. Then go to Readings Settings, and select Static Page, then select the new page you just created in the drop down menu to set it as the front page. Click Save Changes and the new index page will now be the first thing that visitors see when they go to your site. Does that solve your problem?
