Homepage doesn’t show up as my front page
-
Hi, I’m looking for some help with my homepage. I’m really new to this and I don’t know what mistake I’ve made.
When I go to Pages and choose “Home,” it says it’s the front page.
When I click to edit it, it says the URL is rightheregarden.com It looks like this:
But when I type in that URL to a new tab it shows something completely different.
When I click “Edit site” at the top left of this second image, I can edit what we’re seeing here. If I click “Edit Page,” it takes me back to the editor I showed in the second image.
Why is this showing up when I type in the URL for the homepage? What does the Edit Site button mean?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.
As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
