I can see there are several posts about the main page.
It is proving confusing to me also.
When i visit my site the first page is the main page and i have
named it 'credits'.
It is in its own section called 'Home' which I have hidden.
My question is:
Is there a way to make the main page so that it can only be accessed when a visitor first comes onto the site.
So that it cannot be accessed again through a link in the menu?
Currently there is always a link visible 'credits'
I hope this is clear. Regards Daniel

You need to think about it backwards...you have changed the original "main" page to your credits pages. Simply create a new credits page and cut and paste the content over. Then, use your main page for it's intended purpose..rename it back to main page or someting like that...

Hi Vaska
Yes I will do this but it still leaves me with a link in the menu to the main page. Is there a way to remove/hide this ?

Look in Additional Settings for your page...hide the page from Index...

Does the same go for just changing my home page to another exhibit? For example, my home page is currently the 'Portraits' exhibit, but I would like it to be my exhibit called 'Death Valley'. Do I have to create a new section for portraits and move all of the images from the 'Death Valley' section into the former portraits section and rename it? If so, is there a way I can do it without re-uploading all of the Death Valley images into the portraits section, like can I copy and paste the content somehow?
Thanks...Zach.

changing a page to main page always means you need to take the content to the REAL main page. the main page is fixed.

as i remember, you can do the trick with url redirections on your server panels... it will be possible to do that in future versions, but currently not.

i added a background image to my main page, and now the "edit" section of my main page no longer has a link to browse or delete the background image. i can't find it in the style sheets to manually remove it. please help...

that's because the file was really tall and the button got hidden... You could get it to show up with some fiddling although the effective way to do this is via phpMyAdmin.

"fiddling" hasn't worked so far. where is "phpMyAdmin" that you mentioned? still learning all the coding lingo and locations. thanks for trying to help.
