Choose what visitors see on your KrateCMS homepage

Your homepage is the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your site’s root URL (/). KrateCMS gives you three distinct homepage modes, and you can switch between them at any time from the admin panel. No code changes, no deploy — the update takes effect the moment you save.

Open homepage settings

Go to Admin → Settings → Content (/admin/settings/content). The Homepage Settings card is at the top of the page.

Choose a homepage mode

Posts feed
Page
Marketing

The default mode. Your homepage shows a live feed of your most recently published posts, with category filter tabs (Text, Audio, Video, Uncategorized) so visitors can browse by type. New posts appear automatically as you publish them — there’s nothing to update.Select Posts feed from the Homepage dropdown and click Save.

The posts feed is the safest fallback. If you switch to a different mode and something goes wrong — for example, you select a Page that’s still in draft — KrateCMS automatically falls back to the posts feed so your homepage is never broken for visitors.

Use any page you’ve built with the block editor as your homepage. This works similarly to WordPress’s “page as homepage” setting — visitors at / see the full content of the selected page, rendered with all its blocks.

Build your page first

If you haven’t created the page yet, go to Admin → Pages → New Page and build it with the block editor. Save it when you’re ready.

Select Page mode

In Homepage Settings, choose Page from the Homepage dropdown. A second dropdown appears listing all your pages.

Pick your page

Select the page you want to use as your homepage from the list, then click Save.

Verify the result

Visit your site’s root URL to confirm the page renders as expected.

What happens with drafts: if the page you’ve selected is still in draft status, logged-in editors can preview it at /, but visitors who aren’t logged in will see the posts feed instead. Publish the page when you’re ready to make it live for everyone.

Use the Hide title toggle on your page to suppress the <h1> heading when it renders as the homepage. A hero block with its own visual headline rarely needs a generic “Home” heading above it. See Building pages for details on the hide title option.

A pre-built marketing landing page template included with KrateCMS. Select Marketing page from the Homepage dropdown and click Save. The template renders at / automatically.

The Marketing template is a fixed layout. To customize your homepage layout with full control over the content and blocks, use the Page mode with a page you’ve built in the block editor instead.

The posts archive at `/posts`

Regardless of which homepage mode you choose, the posts archive is always available at /posts. This URL shows your full published posts feed with category filters — it never changes based on your homepage setting. Link to /posts in your navigation if you switch to a Page or Marketing homepage, so visitors can still find your content feed.

Add /posts to your site navigation when your homepage isn’t the posts feed. Visitors expect a direct route to your content, and /posts is always reliable.

Switching modes

Switching between homepage modes takes effect immediately after you save — there’s no cache to clear and no deploy required. You can switch modes as many times as you need while iterating on your site’s design.

If you switch away from a Page homepage and later switch back, make sure the page you had selected is still published. If it has been set back to draft, visitors will see the posts feed until you publish it again.
