Hi - because I am offering products for sale I can woocommerce being the logical solution. However, I can not understand how the Home Page, which is not a product or shop page, integrates with Toolset using Divi Builder.

The attached screenshot is the Home Page and not a product page and there is currently no Post Type entered in the Toolset dashboard for it to integrate with.

How do I set up this page with Toolset custom fields and frontend form submission?

Hi Chuck

The front-page of a WordPress site by default is the blog page (i.e. the archive of standard posts).

The alternative is to make a static page (that you publish and might call "Home page", for example) the home page of the site.

You specify which at Settings > Reading (where you can also specify an alternative URL for the blog).

Those are the two alternatives.

In terms of customising these with Toolset, you could create a custom archive for blog posts if that is your front page (https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/customize-post-archives/).

Or you can add whatever content you like to your static home page, inserting a View to list posts of some type, for example.

When you add WooCommerce to the mix, it adds a static page to be the shop page, and then it displays the product archive on that page.

You could go to Settings > Reading and make this WooCommerce shop page the home page.

Then if you customise the product archive using Toolset, you will be customising the home page.

If you need anything clarifying further, please let me know.
