Magento Home Page Layout

Why does my开发者_开发技巧 page.xml file not change the layout of the homepage?? It changes the layouts of the other pages, but not the homepage. Does the homepage have its own layout xml file??

Figured it out. You have to go to the admin panel -> CMS -> and change the layout for the homepage to match your layout.

For example:

Mine was not working b/c page.xml was using a single column layout whereas the homepage was using a two column layout. - it goofed it all up.

Just match the layouts.
