Homepage is the first page visitors will see when they arrive at your website. By default, the homepage will be the page displaying all of your posts, beginning with the most recent where you can change the layout within blog layout.
Choosing Page for Homepage and Blog Page
By default, your homepage will display your post feed, listing all of your latest posts for visitors to see. You can make your homepage as a static page and display your post feed on a separate page.
- Create your new homepage and blog pages within WordPress Dashboard > Pages > Add New or you can choose your page that is already created.
- Navigate to Settings > Reading or Appearance > Customize > Static Front Page. You will see a section titled ‘Front page displays’ then choose ‘a static page’ option. From the Front page dropdown menu, select the desired page to be your homepage and from the Posts page dropdown menu, select the desired page to be your blog page. Be sure to save changes when finished.
- Navigate to Appearance > Menus to add homepage and blog page to navigation menu. Click the pages dropdown menu on the left, check the boxes next to your home and blog pages, and then add them to the menu. Drag and drop them to wherever you’d like them to be positioned in your menu. Be sure to save when finished.
