Wordpress: set homepage - how it works
WordPress usually shows your current blog posts as your homepage. However, you can easily set an individual homepage. We'll tell you where you can find the necessary setting options here.
WordPress: Set your own homepage
With just a few steps you can set your desired start page.
- Log in to WordPress and navigate to "Settings"> "Read".
- In the "Home page shows" area, select the entry "A static page".
- In the following drop-down menu for "Homepage", select an already published page as the new homepage.
- Click the "Apply changes" button to save the settings.
- Extra tip: If you also have a blog, set the page for your blog entries under "Contribution page".
- To do this, create a new, completely empty page and name it "Blog", for example.
- Then select the page as the "Contribution page".
- As soon as you link to your blog within WordPress, your published posts will automatically be displayed on this page.
