4. In the **Homepage** dropdown, choose the **GeoDirectory location page** (if it exists as a page).

### If the GeoDirectory Location Page Doesn't Appear:
– Ensure the GeoDirectory location page is published:
1. Go to **Pages** in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Look for the page created by GeoDirectory for locations. If it doesn’t exist, create one:
– Add a new page under **Pages > Add New**.
– Use the appropriate GeoDirectory shortcode for the location page, such as `[gd_location]`.
– Save and publish the page.
3. Now go back to **Settings > Reading** and set this page as the homepage.

5. Click **Publish**.

### Optional: Redirect All Homepage Traffic (if needed)
If you prefer to redirect the default homepage to the GeoDirectory location page, use a plugin like **Redirection**:
1. Install and activate the **Redirection** plugin.
2. Go to **Tools > Redirection**.
3. Create a new redirection:
– **Source URL**: `/` (or your root homepage URL).
– **Target URL**: The URL of the GeoDirectory location page.
4. Save the redirection.
