A web site can only have 1 home page, and the FP Nav bars / Nav View uses the default home page as a link for home - and you can't
have 2 different "home" pages
You are trying to use a what is called a splash page, in addition to your home page
If your host does not support subwebs, do not use the FP nav bars (or the home link on them)
If your host does support subwebs you need to make you main web a subweb and your root web a 1 page site w/ only the splash page in
it (pointing to the subweb home page)
In your local web create a folder - say content - and right click it to convert to web
Then use File Publish web (all pages) to publish your root web to your subweb
If your splash page filename is not your host required home page filename
- In your root web, copy the content of your splash page to your old home page
Delete all the content and pages in your root web except that used by your splash/home page (and the content subweb), and create a
link to your subweb home page (same filename as splash page but in the content subweb)
Open your new subweb in FP - content - by double clicking it
Make sure your real home page has the home icon in it in Nav View
- if not copy the content from the "old" home page to the correct home page and delete the old splash page (or the now duplicate
home page)
File Preview in Browser to check all links and then close the subweb in FP
In the Root web in FP use File Publsih all (including subwebs) to your online root web as
http://www.yoursite.com/
In the future just work in the subweb and publish it directly to the online subweb using
http://www.yoursite.com/content/
Always use the File Publish web command (instead of the publish button) to make sure you are publishing to the correct location
(root or subweb)
