How do I create a static front page in WordPress?

Asked on Sep 15, 2025

Answer

To create a static front page in WordPress, you need to set a specific page to be displayed as your homepage instead of the default blog posts. This can be done easily from the WordPress dashboard.

Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Settings → Reading.
Under "Your homepage displays," select "A static page."
Choose a page from the "Homepage" dropdown menu.
Click "Save Changes" to apply your settings.

Additional Comment:

If you haven't created a page yet, go to Pages → Add New to create one first.
Ensure your chosen page has the content you want visitors to see first.
You can also select a different page for your blog posts under "Posts page."
