Go to the list of Blocks

The Home Link block allows you to automatically add a link to your site’s homepage.

Note: the Home Link block is only available as a sub-block of the Navigation block

To add a Home Link block, you first need to add a Navigation block in a post or Site Editor. There are three ways you can use to add a Home Link block once you add a Navigation block:

  • From the sidebar
  • From the Navigation block contextual menu
  • by converting an existing block

From the sidebar

With the Navigation block selected, click on the (+) icon in the sidebar, and either select the Home link block from the list of your recently used blocks or click on Browse all to show all the available blocks and select it from there.

Select an already-existing sub-block inside the Navigation block and click on the icon to the left of the Drag tool, which represents the actual sub-block. Select the Home link block from the drop-down menu.
