I created and customize a website page, which I then set as the default root page for my domain (active domain). However, when I visit the domain, the theme’s default Blog page appears instead of the customized page I assigned

Could you assist me in resolving this issue?

@TechBucks happy to help - when you connect your root domain, HubSpot creates a blog in the background even if you haven’t written a single post. The blog settings are blank, so they are “parked” on your root domain preventing your website from appearing there.

You can update your blog settings here: Settings \> Content \> Blog \> Blog root URL \> Blog slug

As long as you type text in the blog slug box, it will change the blog URL so you can use the root domain for your website home page.
