Kirby keeps using default.php instead of home.php

I’m encountering an odd problem. I’ve set up a Kirby 4 installation and made a “home” folder within my content directory. Within this folder, I’ve created a “home.php” file in the templates directory and a “home.yml” file as a blueprint. Everything works fine locally, but on my live server, the “home” page still uses “default.php” as its template. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Hello & welcome.

I’ve set up a Kirby 4 installation and made a “home” folder within my content directory. Within this folder, I’ve created a “home.php” file in the templates directory and a “home.yml” file as a blueprint.

Your content directory should contain page content only (.txt files and media).

Your home.php template file should be placed within: site > templates.
Your home.yml blueprint file should be placed within: site > blueprints > pages.

Hope this helps.
