hi there,

I gave created a custom blog "front-page" with two links to EB categories.

when a user is in one of the categories and clicks the "home" icon on the EB-nav-bar on top the category page is loaded again, not the EB home page or (would be even better) my custom blog home page.

I have played around with routing behavior under SEO but that did not seem to work.

Is there a way to influence where the EB-home icon on the nav bar points to or what is the default behavior for this icon?
Hi Julius,
The default behavior of the home icon in EasyBlog's toolbar is to direct users to the frontpage of EasyBlog. It seems you do not have the EasyBlog frontpage menu item created. This is why the home icon refers to the next available EasyBlog menu item instead, which is the single category menu item(resource).
The EasyBlog frontpage menu item is essential actually because this is the backbone of EasyBlog's menu structure.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The reason I wanted / needed a custom "blog home page" is the fact that categories for which a user is not registered/subscribed will not show up on the front page. What I wanted is for them to see that the category is available but they need a subscription to access it.
So I created a page with link to the two categories that I have. These links point to EB category menu's.

My solution now:

created a hidden menu for the EB front page menu item

setup a re-direct from that hidden menu URL to my custom EB home page URL

et voila !

If there is a way to show categories to which a user is not subscribed on the EB front page then I'll be happy to use that. Maybe I am missing something in the configuration

Hey Julius,
The only setting we have that is the closest to this is the Login To Read Full Post in Settings>General(http://take.ms/Ye8T1). This will still show the posts on the frontpage, and only logged in users can view the full posts. However, this applies to all posts and it is not possible to select certain categories/posts to have this.
