I am running into an issue creating a static home page. I have created a home.hbs which looks like this:

```
> {{!< default}}
> 
> {{#page}}
> 
> <article class='c-{{ post_class }}'>
> {{> post-header }}
> 
> <section class='c-content'>
> {{ content }}
> </section>
> </article>
> 
> {{/page}}

```

I have edit the yaml file like this:

```
> routes:
> /signup/: members/signup
> /signin/: members/signin
> /account/: members/account
> /:
> data: page.home
> template: home
> 
> 
> collections:
> /:
> permalink: /{slug}/
> template: index
> 
> taxonomies:
> tag: /tag/{slug}/
> author: /author/{slug}/

```

I have created a page in ghost with the slug home. Also I am running and testing locally.  
I have try lots of things. It seems to be routing correctly. Because when I type in the URL local/home it takes me to local/.

It appears that the problem exists in the home.hbs not pulling the content from the created page in ghost.

Thanks for you help

Robert.

Hey Robert, try replacing `{{#page}}` and `{{/page}}` with `{{#post}} {{/post}}`. You can read more about the page context data [here](https://ghost.org/docs/api/v3/handlebars-themes/context/page/#data).

Hey Robert - I was experiencing the same problem until I realized that the Home page I created with the `home` slug wasn’t a Page at all … it was a Post. Once I realized my mistake, I was able to access all page content within the `{#page} ... {/page}` tag in `home.hbs`. Hope this helps.
