Setting a Homepage in Wordpress

Wordpress was originally created to allow people to create their own blogs. Over time Wordpress has added more and more general web design capabilities, making it a great Content Management System (CMS).

As blogging was the original focus, the default "home page" or landing page of your Wordpress website is the "blog page". If you do not want the blog to be the landing page/home page, you can change the setting in the Wordpress Admin panel.

Go to "Settings" towards the bottom of the left side menu:

Select "Reading"

Change "Your latest posts" to "A static page"

Next to "Front page", select your "Home page"

Make sure to save your changes!
