Hi!
I am new user of website X5 and I am struggling with some things.
Can somepne tell me how to convert blog page as home page or to insert all blog page content in home page?
Also, can someone tell me how can I add a blog category on website Main Menu?
I couldn't find anything to link things from Main Menu to an existing hyperling or how to bring blog content on home page.

Some theoretical considerations.
The menu item for the blog can be moved to the first position under "3 Pages" and renamed.
In order for the blog to be displayed when the website is called up, a forwarding from index.html to blog/index.php would have to be set up in the .htaccess file.
Under item "2 Template > Contents of the template" the menu object should be replaced by a text object in which the blog categories are then linked.
Maybe there are users who have already implemented this and can give tips.

Daniel, regarding to .htaccess file modification is more like a workaround and should work to do this straight from website x5. For 2nd problem, can you give me more details? Till now I couldn't find anything.
Thank you.
As far as I know, you can't change the blog's address so that the blog is displayed when the domain is accessed, but maybe the moderators know more.
The htaccess experts should provide a working code for the .htaccess file, my attempts didn't work.
Since it didn't work for me with the .access file, I set up an HTML forwarding on the homepage (the one with the house symbol), so it worked
----- WebSite X5 -----
3 Sitemap > (Mark the homepage with the house symbol) > Properties
___________/ Extended /
Custom code:
Before the </HEAD> tag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://mydomain.com/blog/index.php">
-----------------------
Adjust the URL for your own web address to the blog.
My Text page >> http://finde-links.de/test123-beautyblog/ - with redirect to /blog/index.php
From the original home page I made a copy at "3 Sitemap" and named this copy Index2 so that the contents of this home page have been preserved.
The current home page (with the house icon - index.html) contains the HTML redirect.
I hope that my guide is enough to allow easy creation of a blog with WebSite X5 without a normal web page appearing when the domain is accessed.
If the blog is to appear when the domain is accessed and the menu order is also to be changed, these settings under “3 Sitemap” are sufficient.

If the blog's categories are also to be placed in the menu bar, the menu object must be exchanged for a text object and the links must be created manually.
