# Removing Front Page From Permalink

 * Hello everyone.
 * I’m working on a website and have a problem with the permalinks. I set the front
   page to “home” so now when you go on the website (vanside.de), the link changes
   to vanside.de/home. If you now click on any of the navigation links on top (e.
   g. “KontaKt”), the link changes to vanside.de/home/kontakt. which is not what
   I want (it should only display vanside.de/kontakt).
 * In my WordPress settings the website url is set to vanside.de/home (I have no
   idea why) which probably is the problem. however if I try to remove the /home,
   the website only displays plain html without any styling.
 * I’m using the Elementor page builder if that could be a reason?
 * Thank you very much in advance 🙂
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremoving-front-page-from-permalink%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I suggest asking for support on your theme’s support page.

 * okay thank you I’ll try this.
    I just wasn’t sure if that’s something I have 
   to fix in the WordPress settings or if it has something to do with my theme.

 * Did you select the page you want as the home page in the theme customizer?

 * Yes I checked “static” page and then selected the page “home” in the customizer.
 * I just found out something interesting though:
    If I go to the general WordPress
   settings and change the website-address (url) from [https://vanside.de/home](https://vanside.de/home)
   to anything else after the “/” it still works (e.g. [https://vanside.de/start](https://vanside.de/start)
   or / test) and the website gets displayed properly. But if I don’t put anything
   behind the “/”, the website only shows plain html.

 * [@padione](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padione/) you don’t have to change
   your url where wordpress resides but you have to limit yourself to using a static
   page.
    example constant ABSPATH local path installation folder wordpress /home/
   user/public_html/ must not be changed to /home/user/public_html/path otherwise
   for wordpress the url of the site is the setting of the dashboard (overwriting
   one path to another) Site Address (URL) **WP_HOME**.

 * 
    Start installaction WordPress [https://vanside.de/](https://vanside.de/) (for
   browser) `define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://vanside.de' );` Without end slash for WordPress.
