Redirect root page

Vibrationz

Hi,
I'm just starting to use Automad but I really like the concept. Is there a way to redirect the root page (Home) to a different page? I'd love to have the ability to switch the entry point of my website whenever I need it.

Thanks in advance,
Bruno

Vibrationz Hi, yeah it is possible using a snippets block with a redirect statement. But I will take a look at it and maybe also add the redirect option to the settings for the homepage.

mad Thanks a lot... will dive into the documentation to find out how to do this ;-)

Ok, I just put this in my header.php to redirect to the page called 'info' and it seems to work fine:

<@ if  @{ :level } = 0 @>
	<@ redirect { url: "/info" } @>
<@ end @>

Vibrationz Hi, great! I recommend to just put the redirect statement without the condition in a snippet block directly in the editor of the homepage. That way the redirect is treated as content and therefore will be unaffected by any updates to the themes or templates.
