Hi There,

I was trying to create a home page on my site, however the option has now disappeared from the customizer section.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

For using the customiser see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

The theme setup instructions are here https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway
Take note of this section particularly “Homepage Template”.

The Home page of your site by default is at the URL for the site.

This is a one or the other situation. You can create a static front page, and then a separate page for all your published posts. The first step is to create two pages and then designate them appropriately.

(1) All posts on the front page which is also called the home page and is the URL of the site by default.

(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page. In that case you can create a Page for the Home page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page first, then create one for your Posts/Blog. Lastly, you designate a static front page.

Optional – Create a blog page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#optional-create-a-blog-page

Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu

Add your blog page into it https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#2-add-menu-items

* Navigation Label – Enter your custom link text here. This overrides the default name of the menu item, replacing it with the name you give it instead.

Thank you so much for your help :)

I had a bit of a mind blank and didn’t realise I had to actually create a page beforehand!
