# Cannot set static page as homepage

 * Hello there,
 * I’m having difficulty setting a static page as my website homepage. I have read
   some of the other posts on this forum about other people having similar issues
   but unfortunately their solution has solved my issue.
 * I have tried setting a static homepage two ways but neither of them “stick” once
   I press Publish. The first way is through the Appearance/Customize/Homepage Setting
   control. I select a homepage and press Publish. Then when I go to preview the
   root of my site (www.barryandtheblasters.com) it doesn’t show any page content.
   The second control I found is under Settings/Reading/Your homepage displays –
   > static page. The result is the same, the setting doesn’t “stick”. By that I
   mean if I go back into the Settings/Reading the control reverts to the default“
   your latest post”.
 * I’ve also tried disabling all of my plugins but that hasn’t had any effect.
 * Any suggestions?

 * Howdy!
 * It sounds like the theme you currently have active could be playing a part in
   that. Have you tried switching themes to see if that resolves the issue?
