Yes, I followed the steps given in thread. Specifically, I first added "custom-homepage": "true" in the modifiers, and then I created a component at javascripts/discourse/connectors/custom-homepage/home.gjs.

Yes, I see my default homepage and no errors in console

You probably need to change this setting: [image] in preferences

Now i got it i have to set Default Home Page to default then it worked
