Changing the home page in WordPress is a simple process that can significantly impact your site’s look and user experience. Here’s a concise step-by-step guide:
Log in to your WordPress Dashboard
- Access this by adding /wp-admin to the end of your website’s URL and entering your login details.
Navigate to the Settings menu
- Find Settings on the left-hand sidebar and click on it. Then, select Reading from the submenu that appears.
Adjust your homepage settings
Under the Your homepage displays option, you have two choices:
- Your latest posts: Select this if you want your homepage to automatically display your most recent blog posts.
- A static page: Choose this to set a specific page as your homepage. Once selected, you’ll see two dropdown menus appear:
- Homepage: Select the page you want to use as your home page from the dropdown menu.
- Posts page: If you’re using a static homepage, select which page will display your blog posts.
Save your changes
Once you’ve made your selection, don’t forget to click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen to apply your new homepage settings.
That’s it!
You’ve successfully changed the homepage of your WordPress site. Experiment with different pages to see what works best for your site’s navigation and overall feel.
