Edit index.liquid to assign a different page as the homepage

Technical Q&A
1

I wan’t to set the homepage to one of the static pages built in Shopify.

How should I be editing index.liquid to assign a different page as the homepage? The page name is /pages/shop-status.

Many thanks in advance

Hello,

  1. Delete everything inside index.liquid and replace with this code:
{% assign page_name = 'shop-status' %}
{% assign page = pages[page_name] %}

{% if page.content != blank %}

  

    

      

        # {{ page.title }}
      

      
        {{ page.content }}
      

    

  

{% else %}
{{ content_for_index }}
{% endif %}
  1. Save.

Let me know whether it works!

Hello Diego, what would be the workaround if I have index.json instead of index.liquid

is there a way to then assign the current home page to a secondary navigation page? thanks

Diego do you have a solution to then use the home page within the main navigation but for another landing page? thanks
