Dynamic Homepage

    Our theme has a home page already and we want this URL to be the home page.
    This is a dynamic page that pulls the vendors from our multi-vendor dokan.
    I currently have a redirect but just found out that the redirect is affecting the search and product categories widget and returns each search to a 404 error because it is adding /vendors/ to the URL before category or search info.

    In the settings there is not an option to select dynamic page.

    Is this possible?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You are thinking of it backward.
    Your home URL is https://designtrade.net/ and the Settings > Reading page is asking you whether you want to show your latest posts there or a WP Page there.
    Themes don’t supply pages, they just style them. But you might have a custom page template that shows the vendors. You still have to assign that template to a WP Page so that it is used.
    There should not be a redirect of your home page.

    I did go to settings>reading and set to the page that displays the vendors but it only shows a blank page.
    The vendors page template only has short code that pulls in through the dokan multivendor plugin.
    And if I create a link in the header for that page is displays perfect.
    Not sure why it displays blank when I set home page.

    It sounds like the code might be expecting a certain URL, but most shortcodes do not. You should ask whoever wrote that code.
