[Resolved] I am unable to update the content of my homepage

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user had a homepage layout but it won't update the homepage when assigned.

Solution:

In this user's case they had created an archive layout for the homepage which would've overwritten the new layout that the user created.

The solution was to disable the layout that was being used on the homepage archive.

I am trying to: use a Layout for the design of my homepage.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: The new layout appear when I reloaded the homepage (after resetting caching etc)

Instead, I got: the old homepage design using a content template, which is not linked from any layout or the homepage itself.

Hi Jon,

I found the issue.

It turns out that you actually have a layout set for the home archive page so this is why its overwriting your current layout.

If you go to the link here
hidden link

Then deselect "Home" from the "Change how this layout is used" section you should now see your new homepage layout.

Thanks,
Shane
