Lesson 05 - Setting Home Page

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to make your custom Elementor page the default homepage of your WordPress website. Instead of displaying the default “Hello World” blog post, you’ll configure WordPress to load your custom Home Page whenever visitors access your domain. You’ll also fix a common Elementor issue where the Hero Section’s background color doesn’t stretch across the full width of the screen. By understanding the relationship between container width, section backgrounds, and WordPress Reading Settings, you’ll create a cleaner, more professional website structure that’s ready for real-world projects.
