k_hold Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) My site is experiencelabs.org. The attached image is the splash page on my old site. I have made a new site live but this page keeps loading as the homepage. When you click enter, it takes you to the new site (this page originally sent users to /about-us) and when you click home in the menu, it takes you back to the splash page. Note: The home page that should be loading is marked as the site's home page and has a /home slug This landing page is nowhere in my site's design and is not parked in the not linked section I'm not seeing this page anywhere in the correct home page's custom code I have tried setting another page as the homepage and it still happens Edited February 22, 2023 by k_hold I forgot to add my URL Link to comment

Go into the new home page settings and click on "set as homepage" 10 hours ago, k_hold said: This landing page is nowhere in my site's design and is not parked in the not linked section Since it is loading, it must be somewhere in the pages menu (since it is set as the homepage it won't be deleteable and will have a little house symbol next to it). 10 hours ago, k_hold said: I have tried setting another page as the homepage and it still happens How have you tried to set other pages as the homepage?

k_hold Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Hi, @Ziggy thank you for offering to help. I think all of your questions were already addressed in my original post. This issue is still outstanding. Edited February 22, 2023 by k_hold Link to comment
Ziggy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If you have gone into the page settings and clicked on this button "SET AS HOMEPAGE" and that doesn't change the homepage that loads, then you have an error that cannot be solved on the forum and you need to contact Squarespace support directly to get your website fixed.

I have made a new site live but this page keeps loading as the homepage. It looks like the domain http://www.experiencelabs.org/ is in the process of transitioning from your old Squarespace 7.0 site at https://karen-hold-9xf4.squarespace.com/ to the new one at https://emu-panda-y4y7.squarespace.com/. It takes time for domain changes to happen so if you check back in a few hours, it should work correctly. That said, you can contact Squarespace if you are concerned. They can do things that forum users can’t, like clearing the site cache. Did this help?

k_hold Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 @paul2009 it's been 24 hours but I really hope you're right! Barring that, @Ziggymay be right that I need help. It doesn't look like SS even has support? They have forums and "hire an expert" as options. Link to comment

Solution k_hold Posted February 23, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted February 23, 2023 Ok I fixed this myself and I'm putting the solution here for anyone else. I needed to actually unpublish the old site by going into settings --> site availability and turning it from public to private. That was it. Link to comment
