[mossbit]

I am having troubles with my homepage I know I screwed up something in the menu bar. when you click on home it takes you to a blank page and not the home i created.
Also I put some widgets in and they are not showing up.

What’s the correct URL to your site? The URL you’re using here doesn’t go anywhere.

Also I put some widgets in and they are not showing up.

And can you explain this a little more in terms of what you’ve actually done and what you’re expecting to happen?

thank you jason for your immediate reply. It was late last night and cloudy brain. I figured out the widgets put it in the wrong container instead of right sidebar I put them all my widget in the left sidebar, when I had selected the theme to have a right sidebar BRAIN FART.

Any way back to the first question that I am having trouble with when I go into settings and select reading settings. I select the static page > front page and the select drop down menu my home page does not show up.
this is where I know I screwed something up in the menu

strange that the url did not show up here it is again

Before you added an “s” to the end of the URL. That is why it wasn’t correct.

This isn’t how your homepage is currently setup, which is fine. If that works for you, stick with it. I don’t see any problems with your Home button.

In the future, if you do ever have a problem with the Home button. Simply, go back to Appearance > Menus, edit your main menu, delete the home button, and re-add it again.

==============

FYI — There are two ways you can set a custom layout to your homepage. Using either one is perfectly fine.

Method 1: Create your custom layout, apply it to a static page, and then assign that page as your static frontpage under Settings > Reading > Frontpage Displays.

Method 2: Under Settings > Reading > Frontpage Displays, select “your latest posts.” Create your custom layout. Then, go to Appearance > Theme Options > Content > Homepage, and select your new custom layout as the content for the homepage. If you’re using an element in your custom layout that uses post pagination, make sure you use this method.
