  Hello,

  I would like my WordPress homepage to display the exact content of a category page. How can I achieve that, without using a redirect (as it’s bad for SEO to have a 301 on the site’s very home page)?

  That is, when I go to https://www.mysite.com/ to see the same content as if I went to https://www.mysite.com/category/category-slug/

  Thanks!

  Hi there!

  Can you let us know the URL of the site where you’re needing help? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Please note that we can only assist with websites hosted at WordPress.com. If you’re using the WordPress software but hosted elsewhere, you will need to reach out to your hosting provider or the WordPress.org community for guidance:

  Thank you!

  The site is running the WordPress software and it’s hosted on my own server. I have reposted the question on the WordPress.org forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/?post_type=topic&p=15878931

  Thank you for the guidance!
