Setting Landing Page without Blog Grids or as a Page

Themes
1

Hi All,

Does anyone know why the image I set is no longer showing in the Source theme although it’s showing in the preview. I did activate a few themes testing to see if it could be done with any of them and it can’t. I’ve cleared cookies and cache but the header image is still not showing when viewing the site.

Also, I can’t remove the blog from the landing page. I read where you can set a page for the landing page but there is routing involved. I was hoping this process would be much simpler without the use of a lot of coding. Is there away to do this simply?

Thanks in advance.

You probably mean the cover image? IIRC, Source doesn’t use it on the magazine/highlight layout.

Source is very news/article/blog forward. You will definitely need to set a page as your landing page, if that’s what you want. It’s not really much coding.

You just need this in your routes.yaml file:
```

routes:
  /: 
    template: page
    data: page.home

collections:
  /blog/:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template: index

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

Feel free to replace blog with whatever you like. You’ll need to create a page with the slug ‘home’, or edit the fourth line from page.home to page.whatever-your-page-has-for-a-slug , but that should be all you need to get something else on the main landing location!
