It's time for your daily dose of Wordpress Wisdom! In today's quick tutorial I'll be showing you how to create a static page for your website. By default your website is set to show your latest posts, or a "blogroll" as your home page, and this is perfectly fine for your website. But as you grow and start learning more and more about website customization you may decide that you want to give your website a whole different look, greeting your audience with a "static page" as they arrive at your website's home.

Let's dive in and I'll show you exactly how to do it.

If you want to check out all my Wordpress Wisdom tutorials you can go to the WA smart search up top (magnifying glass) and type in "Wordpress Wisdom" or just head over to my blog.

Be productive!
Get to work!
I'll see you next time!

Thank you for the informative video. It truly is much easier than I thought it would be. My next goal after getting this set up will be going through the wordpress videos you have up and learning all I can about it. I appreciate it a ton. Thanks again Eric. You rock.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! šŸ’Æ

Hi Eric thank you for the videos, I wanted to know if you can share the link on the video for the cover block so I can start designing my front page, I like the way you have used a full photo for the design and I'd like to learn.

Sure šŸ’Æ
The link is already up above in the video description.šŸ‘šŸ¼
And anytime you're looking for training inside WA you can use the smart search using the magnifying glass. And if you know the trainer add their name to the search as well to filter the results even more.

HI Eric and coincidence. Just yesterday I asked Kyle how to make of one of my posts a landing page. He adviced to go over the settings to the reading to the static page.
But as always things are not so like shown. In the pop menu I could only select my privacy policy as a static page, not one post was hown in the menu.
So I had to make from the post a draft again then make it a page and then I could select it.
Also the option are diffirent then shown in your example ...
Need to check that what deeper but making my landing page succeeded.
Now I have to work at the artistic view of it .... Thanks !
