I need to change a page to be the Home Page. I have already moved it to the top of the page list.

Thanks,

Richard

Hello Richard,

The home page of a website is defined as the file which carries the 'index.html' extension (or 'index.php').

Bearing this in mind you can set any page in a WebSite X5 project to be the home page, by setting its file name accordingly (please see the screenshot attached)

You can only have one 'index' file per website, but WebSite X5 helpfully warns you if you try to create more than one.

You can hide or rename the default WebSite X5 Home page (the one with the little icon of a house)  -  just be sure to change its filename from 'index' to something else.

When a user visits your website online using the domain name alone, the web server will look first for the 'index' page, and return your new home page by default.

Kind regards,

Paul

I'm no expert....but possibly copying all the cells from the one to the Home Page and then ajusting.

Works for me.
