How do you display a landing page?

[jskintauy]

Hi All,

I created a page I like and set it as a landing page template. When I view it, it looks great. So I publish it. When I go to "Visit Site" it doesn't display. I assumed I needed to add it to a menu in some way and redirect users to it so it comes up as the first thing a visitor sees, but I don't really see how to do it? Can someone outline the next steps?

Thanks ahead.

Hi,

if you want your new landing page to be the front page of your website,
go to Settings - Reading - Front page displays
Select A static page
In the Front page drop-down field choose the landing page.
Save Changes

Hi Christoph,

Thanks so much for the reply. This is the first thing I tried and I am confused why it doesn't work. When I did this I noticed that the permalinks changed properly (the state home page became name_of_domain/home and the landing page became name_of_domain) but when I go to the site it still goes back to the original homepage. This behavior seems very odd, because when I look at the link in the browser it should be displaying the landing page. Any ideas?

Regards,

Jim

According to the body class I see when I view source, you are using the custom page. This is the body class: page-id-145 page-template page-template-page_landing page-template-page_landing-php

It says you are using page #145 and the landing page template.
