Solved Static Home Page or Edit Divi-created home?

I'm having the same issue... What is the solution here? Would love to figure this out

 

I had the same issue. Divi.Help actually answered it above but in a generally vague way. Here's here's what I did:
Dashboard
- Appearance
- Customize
- Homepage Settings
Under YOUR HOMEPAGE DISPLAYS, there are 2 options. By default, it's set to latest posts (so if you don't have any posts, it'll just show a blank page that isn't even in your list of pages).
Click the A static page button and you'll see a drop-down menu where you can choose which page you want to be your default Home page.
You should see the changes happen there. Click Publish and then confirm that your default Home page is what you want it to be.

Let me know if this helps because I'm still learning all this stuff myself!

 

THANK YOU PelletSmokerGrill! That helped so much and so sad that the actual Divi.Help didn't "help" me either! What does the "POSTS PAGE" do at the bottom? I feel like this is something that will help one of my problems I'm having but can't verbalize it since I am so new. I got 99 problems, and DIVI is all of them right now! Hahaha! Easy for beginning---not in the slightest.

 

Glad I could help. I know all too well how frustrating web design programs can be. Allow me to share a tutorial video that REALLY helped me a lot. It's a little long, but if you work through the steps as the presenter does, I think some *lights* come on for you as they did for me:

 

Thank you! I need all the help I can get and recommendations for what actually works is the best!. I will watch it.

 

I can not change my post page to static. I created a home page went to customize and there is not home page link there to change to home. I went to settings and reading and there is nothing there to change either? I have no idea whats going on. So frustrating

 

Yes it does not show up that way.

 

its hard to make static home pagr"

 

You need to create your first published page before the option will show up.

Settings>Reading
or
Appearance>Customize>Homepage Settings

 

I just published 2 posts. My homepage is a blog and it shows the 2 posts (summaries). I also managed to get categories up on the menu and each category page shows a post. So far so good!

I am now thinking of adding an image and an a short blog description onto my homepage. Can anyone tell me how do I do this?

Thanks, Divi Newbie

 

I made some kind of error when creating my site with a Divi preset author theme. I ended up deleting the original homepage and adding a page and creating my own. When I viewed my site, I then had two pages called Home, but only one showed up on my list of pages at the back end. The first Home page is empty except for the statement, "Write or delete your first post." I changed my new home page to static, which then duplicated it, and the blank page titled "Home" is now the same as my page titled "Home." Only one shows at the back end. At the top of the site, I now see the pages in this order: Home, About, Blog, Home, Uncategorized. The uncategorized page also does not appear on the page list in the back end. I want the order of my pages to be: Home, About, Blog. Please help me sort this out.
