The default settings in WordPress display the current posts on your home page. You can change this if you want to have a static home page for your site. (Some themes have options for setting up front page features, in which case you can use those features instead of this article.)
1. CREATE A HOME PAGE
In the WordPress panel, go to PAGES and add a new page. Name this page “Home”. Under the “template” option, choose the default option or a custom one. Add any content you would like to add to the page and publish it.
2. CREATE A PAGE FOR YOUR BLOG
(you only need to create this page if you will be using blog features.) You can title the blog page “blog”, “articles”, “news”, or whatever else you want to name it. This page will be the page that shows your blog posts. Do not add content to this page and do not use a custom template. Publish the page.
3. ADJUST SETTINGS FOR YOUR NEW PAGES
Go to SETTINGS -> READING and set the front page displays to “static page”. Set the “front page” option to the home page you created, and if you will be using a blog, set the “posts” page option to the blog page you created. Save.
Enable PERMALINKS to display the page title in the address.
4. REMOVE DOUBLE HOME PAGE IN WORDPRESS NAVIGATION BAR
Some themes already have a “Home” link at the top navigation bar so if you created a “Home” page, you may now have two home links at the top of your navigation bar. To fix this, go to APPEARANCE -> EDITOR -> HEADER. Search for the word “Home” and find and delete the code below, which contains the word “home”. Save.
