Indigo Template - Classic View
Wayne
How do you make the classic view you shown in the demo, become the default home page.
I tried for 4 hrs yesterday, i tried everything..I and mean everything, for 4 hours trying to make the classic view in the demo the home page, iechanged the menu item unpublished the old home etc..made the classic menu item the default..and still nothing worked. It kept defaulting back to the way it shows in the demo, which is not even listed as an alternative..
There is NO mention of how to do this the template documentation either, nada, thats where it should be correct?
So I sent an email as an Agency Subscriber, to support@, they sent me back here to post it here, so here i am another 24hrs later.

Accepted AnswerHello,
First of all, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and the time you spent trying to resolve this.
Changing the homepage is not mentioned in the template documentation because it is not a template-specific feature. It is a core feature of Joomla. In Joomla, the homepage is controlled through the Menu Manager by assigning a menu item as the Default Home. The template simply displays whatever page Joomla sets as the default.
The issue you are experiencing is most likely caused by the multilingual configuration that is enabled in the Quickstart package. When multilingual functionality is active, Joomla loads the homepage based on the language-specific default menu item. In this case, a regular default menu item may not take effect if language-specific homepages are configured.
If you do not plan to use a multilingual site, you can resolve this by disabling the following plugins:
- System – Language Filter
- System – Language Code
After disabling these plugins, the normal default menu item should work as expected.
If you do need a multilingual website, please follow this guide which explains the correct setup process: https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/how-to-create-a-multilingual-site-in-joomla-4-using-helix-ultimate
