Hello!
I have moved from a page builder to Wordpress. I want to set my homepage to http://www......com (it's currently an archive). The content for my home page is now on a post: http://www.....com/home.html. Please can you help me resolve this?
Thanks so much in anticipation. :-)

Hi there,
Not quite sure if I understand.
When I click on the logo and navigate to the home page, it is indeed the posts page:

The .com page should be your default home page which is set within WordPress setting:
https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-reading-screen/
Thanks so much for your response, Leo. Yep, I knew to look there or in customiser. But...
I'm confused about the settings for homepage. You can choose a static page or post, but both choices bring up the same list of pages - there are no posts to choose from.
The content for the homepage is on a post at the moment which allows me to use Yoast for description and title.
I suspect the answer is obvious, but I'm new to WP having been on a page builder for the past 9 years, so I'm sorry if I'm appearing a bit dense. :-)
Hi there,
Homepage options are:
1. Static Page - this can be any page you choose but you cannot choose a single post from your Blog, WP doesn't allow it and its pretty painful trying to make that happen.
2. Posts - this displays the blog page ie. list of posts.
Ah, I now understand - best to simply move that content to a page.
Thanks so much, David. :-)

Glad we could be of help
