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 am trying to set my shop page as a homepage for site. It's an easy action in wp-admin. The problem that I am getting message No products were found matching your request.
At the same time everything OK on shopPage.
I've tried to play with visibility, categories, attributes but still can't customize them properly. I believe, there should be some settings I've missed.
Homepage set to shop page - http://52.58.27.104/
Usual shop page - http://52.58.27.104/shop
Edit
Setting->Reading
WooCommerce->Settings->Products
Settings->Permalinks
Usually to change the page that shows as default you should login to the admin panel then go to Settings -> Reading -> Static Page and from there pick your site. If that's the way you did it then that will remove the extension off your page like the www.site.com/shop will be www.site.com which now means woocomerce is trying to find a /shop section. You have to change the woocomerce section to select the new page that the items are located. Either one by one or through the woocomerce general settings.
Hope that helps
I created a category in WordPress and I gave to this category the url of my blog page. It gave me a 404 error so i deleted the category. The problem is that now my blog page redirect to my homepage.
I don't know how to start . Any idea of what to do ?
You can start by ensuring the blog page is different from the homepage in dashboard->settings->reading
In your admin dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks and make note of the current setting since you need to temporarily change it. Select the Plain radio button and click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Once saved, click the previous pretty permalink option you had and click Save Changes one more time.
Your permalink settings have been reset and you can check your blog page. You shouldn’t see any more 404 errors. Please check the blog page in other browser to prevent also the cache.
Wordpress is eating up a subfolder within my links.
My wordpress menu is set up by adding pages and custom links under the pages. Each page has several sections/paragraphs that I've link-anchored and I'm using custom links to refer to their URL.
For example: The page "Glass" has two custom links under it - "Double Pane" and "Single Pane". The "Glass" URL is found at example.com/glass and the two custom links at example.com/glass/#double-pane and example.com/glass/#single-pane respectively.
The links work just fine from the homepage. However, when I end up at one of the other pages and click on one of the custom links then the browser inputs the URL without the appropriate subfolder. So if I'm at example.com/glass and I click on example.com/glass/#double-pane then the browser inputs example.com/#double-pane which spits me back out to the homepage.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? I deactivated all plugins and the problem persists.
My .htaccess looks standard and I'm up to date on wordpress (4.5.3)

I chose Wordpress for my last project but I have a question. I'll use Pages so the client is able to change the content himself. For the moment there are no Post or blog in it. Is it possible to run Wordpess without a blog? It'll be a blog in a future but not now. Thanks.
Absolutely you can have a WordPress site without a blog. You just need to do a couple of things in the admin.
First you need to create 2 pages: a static 'home' page, and a 'blog index' page. The home page is what will be displayed when a visitor comes to the site. The blog index page is just a blank page, with a title you can remember.
Next, in Settings > Reading, select Front page displays a 'static page', then set 'Front page:' to the home page you made, and 'Posts page:' to the blog index page you made.
Yes, for sure you can do this.
Just do the following:
In your admin backend click on Settings -> Reading and set "A Static Page"
Go to Appearance and build a custom menu and add there your pages to a active menu.
Disable all widgets which link to posts.
In fact you need only the first step, but with the second you allow users to navigate on your site. To make the UX better, just add a plugin like Map Categories to Pages to add a category widget or something in this way, to let people browse your site more nicely.
