    Hi,

    I have formatted my Homepage how I want it in the "Theme Options" settings section. I would like this page to be listed as "Home" on the menu bar, so that people can easily click "Home" to bring them back to my main landing page. Currently, the "Home" page I created that appears on the menu bar is blank and returns an error message. How do I make the contents of the Homepage I've created in the "Theme Options" appear as the contents of the "Home" page I created for the site that appears on the menu bar?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    My website is not published, so I do not have a link to share. Isn't there some way you can just explain to me how to make the "Homepage" that I've been editing through your Theme Options an actual "Home" page on the menu?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Go to
    Appearance > Menus
    Create a custom menu and only add the pages that you want to show in the navigation bar.


    Thanks & Regards

    I have already done this. But I added a page called "Home" and the contents of my "Homepage" that I created in the "Theme Options" is not appearing here. How do I fix this?

    Hello,

    There are two possible reasons of this issue.
    1) Go to the Appearance > Theme options > General settings

    on.png

    2) Go to the

    Dashboard > settings > Reading

    set reading settings to default.png

    I hope it will work.

    Thanks & Regards

    Nope, that didn't work. I already had the Front Page set to "on". I changed the Front page reading settings as you suggested and now when I click Home on my menu bar, it still leads me to a blank sample page that needs to be created.

    Hello,

    Could you please share us the video of Menu panel (Appearance > Menus) of your dashboard and in which you will edit the home page menu.
    And also show the process, how the home page is redirecting on the blank sample page.
