can't access the pre / auto set home page

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello you lovely folk :-)

    I’m setting up my 5th wordpress blog, so I should know what I’m doing by now…

    However… I’ve written our front / first page called “who we are and what we do”. The site (still private) shows both this page and a “home” page. But I can’t see “home” in my list of pages via the dashboard, and when i click on this home page i get a 404 error, so I also can’t put some text in to use this as a proper home page.

    What am I doing wrong? I’ve gone through all the options on the dashboard menus, and I can’t see either how to edit or remove it ggrr :-(

    Many thanks if you can advise me :-)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    A bit above my paygrade – but some themes have a built in Home page on them – try a Custom Menu to replace the default menu

    ggrr i thought this was resolved, but now when you go to the home link you get still get the 404 message:

    Not Found
    Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

    So maybe I asked the wrong question? How do I get our chosen page up at the root site?

    Or is it because it’s still private? Sorry if I’m being really dim… :-(

    Being Private should not make any difference.

    There should be others that are better than I on this that should drop by and take a shot at this

    O it was because I has selected home page to show recent posts and there were none. I selected the only page to be the home view and I’m sorted.

    Thanks auxclass though :-)
