Setup Pages

Setting Home & Blog Page

Sinbad comes with 3 different types of Home Pages. By default the home pages are built using Page templates. However it is also possible to build the home pages entirely with King Composer or Visual Composer. Please follow the steps below to assign one of the 3 home pages as your website’s home page.

By default, WordPress displays blog posts in the home page but we will display a static page as our home page.

  1. Navigate to Pages in your WordPress admin menu to make sure all pages have been imported.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Reading and choose A static page radio button option for Front page displays settings.
  3. For Front Page, choose any one of the 3 home pages that was imported. In our theme we choose Home v1 as our Front Page
  4. For Posts Page, choose Blog page as your posts page.

We’ll create the contents of the Blog and Home page later.
