Homepage Setup

In a WordPress Full Site Editing block theme like AlonePro, configuring your homepage is straightforward. You can either import a complete pre-built homepage via Nextora Cloud Templates or set up a custom front page manually.

Option A: Import via Nextora Cloud Templates (Fastest)

The easiest way to launch your homepage is to import one of the curated AlonePro starter templates:

1. Navigate to Nextora Addon → Templates from your WordPress dashboard.
2. Filter the catalog by AlonePro.
3. Select a homepage design that matches your organization's mission (e.g., Salado Charity Homepage, Medical Clinic Front Page, or Child Sponsorship Hero).
4. Click Import as Front Page.
5. The importer configures your static front page settings and assigns the template automatically. You can then open Appearance → Editor to replace images and edit copy.

Option B: Manual Homepage Setup

If you prefer building your layout from scratch or customizing standard templates:

Step 1: Create a Static Homepage

1. Go to Pages → Add New Page.
2. Enter a title such as Home or Welcome.
3. Optionally add your initial content or leave it blank if you plan to structure the entire layout inside the Site Editor.
4. Click Publish.

Step 2: Configure Reading Settings

1. In the WordPress admin menu, go to Settings → Reading.
2. Under Your homepage displays, select the radio button for A static page (select below).
3. Set Homepage to the page you created (e.g. Home).
4. Set Posts page to your blog page (e.g. Blog or News).
5. Click Save Changes.

Step 3: Customize the Front Page Template in Site Editor

1. Navigate to Appearance → Editor → Templates.
2. Locate and click the Front Page template (front-page.html).
3. Click the canvas to begin editing.
4. Insert AlonePro's custom blocks (e.g. alonepro/salado-slider or alonepro/floating-highlights) or browse Patterns → AlonePro to insert complete hero banners and impact statistics bands.
5. Click Save in the top-right toolbar.
