Make your store's front page the homepage of your website.

[Eric]

If you want to put your store's front page on the homepage of your site, follow these instructions:

1. Log into the Factory
2. Go to your store
3. Go the the Store menu
4. Click URL Settings
5. Delete any words in the "Front page URL" field.
   
6. Save your URL Settings
7. Update your store

The above worked fine - except for my sidebar widgets dropped off? Any hints anyone to get my category list back?

[Eric]

Sounds like your theme has a different template for the homepage of your website than the rest of your site. But it's hard to say without knowing your site's URL...

This happened to me also and when I checked my reading settings my static front page wasn't set as anything so I just set it to the right page and they re-appeared.

Hi guys,

this worked for me. However I have two headings now 'Home' and 'Store'

when both are clicked they remain on the root domain. I tried deleting the Store page however it didn't like that as nothing showed after that.

How do I remove the Home?

thanks

[dealme]

Managed to work out how to get rid of the 'store' one - I just set the store one as the static front page and now all I have is the 'Home' heading.

so i guess now I've got to work out how to change the wording of the Home title

ok so one thing to note don't play around with the functions.php file without keeping a copy of the first - I did and had to reinstall my blog. yay fun.

anywho found this post that worked.

Tried setting my theme as the store one as the static front page, but still have two tabs.

Anyone get this to work so only one tab appears, home tab???

Hey Eric

This did not work for me, sorry, still have two tabs. Maybe just the theme and speaking of this I am looking for a proffessional looking theme I can use in conjunction with your plug-in.

Any suggestions (surprised you don't sell some yourself)

Was the theme but really looking for a proffessional theme to suit what we are trying to do here. Found a theme that allowed custom menus and now only the home button appears.

Happy to get suggestions for really nice looking proffessional themes.

There are just soooo many themes that it's really hard to suggest.

Hi All:
When I do this, I also get 'home' and 'store' pointing to the same page and both appearing on my navbar (custom menu) ... but this should be easy to fix via menu options.

But what's a major problem is that my theme settings change completely! I lose background color, custom menu navbar settings, 3 cols to 2 cols, etc.
I'm using Suffusion, and don't know where to look to see where the conflict is. (and all pages are set to use default page types, so the home page is not set differently than other pages. and the theme issues appear on all pages).


If I use 'store' as my front page display in WP Reading settings, the theme issues are okay, but nothing is displayed as a store home or front page. (categories still seem to work).

I would like to have the store home page as my front page ...
any solutions?

Thanks!
MarkZ

Hi

Did you follow the steps outlined in this video:
http://www.datafeedr.com/videos?vide...rc=yt#videotop

Eric

Hi Eric:
Yes, that's the video I was following, to get the store home page to display on the front page of my blogsite. I didn't get so far along to remove the redundant 'home' & 'store' pages from menu navbar ... I'll try that now, and report back*. It's just weird that removing 'store' from the factory url setting blows the whole theme settings.

*yep, as I thought, the redundant pages in navbar menu don't impact that broken theme settings.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Markz

[Eric]

Can you make it so that the problem appears again? It's hard to debug when everything is working.

[markz]

Hi Eric:
Take a look now: I deleted 'store' from datafeedr factory url setting so the site should be 'incorrect'

Hi

OK, there was a conflict between the URL for the CSS file of Suffusion and the CSS file for Datafeedr.

To solve this, I went here: WordPress Admin Area > Appearance > Suffusion Options > Back-end > Site Optimization and chose "Auto-generate the CSS and print it in the HTML source" under the "Auto-generate CSS file for customization options" area.

That fixed the issue.
