Strange Behavior - SP Online SET Home page not working
Eva
Hell Eva Vogel,
Thanks for the quick reply. No screenshot kind of is required i guess. I am not able to get redirected to the home page that i have set. And I am staying back in the Pages/Default.aspx.
Please let me know if this clarifies.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhanu

on left navigation go to „site contents“ - page library.
It depends if you have created your (classic) wiki page or if it’s a modern page. I placed you a bunch of screenshots here. On classic pages you find that option to change a page as homepage. Pls check, whre you have created it. I suppose, you made a classic page.
Your default page has an entry in site pages library (Websiteseiten, Wiki pages) . Click on your classic page, you will see the ribbon on top of it, click to the button "Make it Homepage". That makes it Homepage,
If you see no ribbon: Go to your Office 365 gear - library setting - go to "advanced Settings" - go to very last option - change it from modern experience to classic experience. But I am not shore this works with "page library", this is in modern design. Go back to your list of created pages. Hope that helps.
Greets, Eva.
- Jan 14, 2019When you set a page as home page in a SharePoint site, the change is inmediatelly done so when you type the Url of your site, you are redirected to the new home page...there is nothing special in the process

Hello jcgonzalezmartin, Good Morning. You are right. But, i don't see that its happening. Not sure what is the reason behind. Even i see the changes reflected in the WelcomePage property. But, i dont see this from the response perspective that i see on the page when i requested the site with the url like -
Requested Site - https://<<TenantName>>.SharePoint.com/Sites/TestSite1
Response received - https://<<TenantName>>.SharePoint.com/Sites/TestSite1/Pages/Default.aspx
Response Expected - https://<<TenantName>>.SharePoint.com/Sites/TestSite1/Pages/CustomHomePage.aspx
Thanks,
Bhanu
