  My homepage seems to have become essentially uneditable, all the information is stored because I can view it, but it doesn’t show up when I try to edit it. None of the other pages have this problem. I’ve cleared my cache but that didn’t seem to help. The homepage just shows a blank screen that says ‘home’ when I try to edit it. The other pages on my website are editable.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, it sounds like you may have placed your homepage content within the “template” of your home page (accessible via the Site Editor, which is under Appearance > Editor (beta) ) rather than within the homepage “content area” which would be under Pages > All Pages > your homepage.

  The Site Editor is intended to affect overall ‘scheme/layout’ aspects of the site, including things like colour schemes, font choices, and the default page layouts for all pages. It’s also useful for doing things like setting up a ‘header’ area with the site menu and possibly a logo/banner, and footer.

  There’s a guide for it here, for reference:

  If you head into Appearance > Editor (beta) then your homepage content should show up so you can edit it, but let us know if it still gives you trouble!
