Homepage URL showing a 404 error

Home, in your menu, should never point to a physical ( created by you ) page. Its meaning is simple – URL of your domain ( eg. http://example.com or https://example.com ).

Remove Home from your menu. Add Home to the menu as Custom Link, with URL = ‘/‘ and Navigation Label=”Home“.

You’re saying that your front page is a static page, created by you, with a content. Which means that in Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays you’ve selected A static page (select below), and in dropdown you’ve selected your existing page. Remove from the menu a link to that page. WordPress will know, based on your settings, what page to display, when a visitor clicks on Home.

If you intend to show all posts to your visitors, create a new page with title only ( eg. Posts, Blog ). Publish it. Select this page in dropdown of Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays -> Posts page. Add this page to your menu.

That’s all. Now trash your Home page, created by you.
