Hi all,
Let's say I have a site with pages A, B and C.
A is currently the homepage. I'd like to make B the homepage.
I could not find how to do that. Is there a way t make page B the "index" page ?
(I am using 3.3.7)
I must also say that I did not really see the use of the "toggle status" button, in the Page Management. It displays which page is a menu item, and which page is the homepage, but does not really allow to toggle anything.
What am I missing ?
Thanks!
ps: by the way I was really delighted to discover the simplicity, power and speed of GetSimple.
I am now decided to migrate my small company site from CMS Made Simple (and its nightmare upgrade issues) to GetSimple.

- In your GS install, go to
/data/pages/
- Make a backup of the
index.xml file and the new file you would want to make your homepage.
- Rename
index.xml to its new page name, and also change the field (inside that file) <url><![CDATA[index]]></url> to the same as the page name.
- For the new file you want to be homepage, rename to
index.xml and change the field to <url><![CDATA[index]]></url>
Thanks Tyblitz. Your solutions worked well, except that if I now try to edit the new homepage page, it gives me an error when trying to save: Error: edit.
Then you must have skipped a step/ done something wrong. I just tested, it works.
If you edit it manually you could have changed permissions.
Either way changing the index is not really supported, you are better off setting up a redirect if this is something you will be doing often.

If that's the case, using the method I mentioned above & setting file/ folder permissions manually via Filezilla or similar FTP tool should work, no?

It might well be a permissions issue. All my other pages (created using GetSimple administration) have an invalid owner called "http", which I can't assign to the modified index page, since user http does not exist on my Synology NAS.
Grrr... I
my Syno, but I hate those Linux permissions which are beyond any logic.

I finally got it right by using another editor, which does not change the file permissions (Caret, for instance).
