#5 - Changing the default frontpage

Audience: Joomla Newbies

Another easy to do but often asked question about Joomla is how to change the default homepage from the frontpage component to another page.

The page which is displayed when you first hit a Joomla website is the first menu item in the main menu. Therefore, if you want to change the default frontpage, go to the main menu (Menu > mainmenu) and change the ordering of the menu items such that the page you want to display first is at the top of the list.

DART Creations - Default - Joomla 1.5 IP:85.232.196.5 | 2008-03-07 23:31:27 In Joomla 1.5, this has become easier to handle. You just go to the main menu where your homepage is, select the menu item, and mark it as default.
