change homepage

Post by guy »

Currently our homepage is "index.html" but we would like to change the homepage to another page, in this case a page named "default.html".

We haven't figured out how to change that. Your help most appreciated.

The name of the 'home page' is configured on the server, in most cases, it should be named 'index'.
If you want to change this then you will have to contact the administrator of the server.
Alternately, you can use an empty 'index.html' on your website and redirect it to 'default.html'

Unfortunately the index.html is used, therefore not empty and the host says that it is up to us to define the homepage.

So basically, what you are saying is that this cannot be changed from within the builder?

No, that is not what I am saying.

This has nothing to do with the software.
In WYSIWYG Web Builder, you can name your pages anything you like.
You can name the home page default.html or anything else.
However, you will need to reconfigure the server to use this page as your home page otherwise it will use 'index.html' by default.

In the project can't you:

1. Rename index.html to something.html
2. Rename default.html to index.html
3. Preview to check links are correct
4. Publish both pages

Or just do as Pablo suggested but rename the index page and make a empty index with redirect to default.html

You need to specify the new home page name in the .htaccess file on the server.

index.html is currently their homepage so if they still have that as the homepage then no need to change the .htaccess file.
