Edit the CommunitiesLandingController so that it has the correct startURL for your Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce site. The CommunitiesLandingPage is the Active Site Home Page for your site, meaning that it is shown when someone enters a direct URL to your site. For instance, if your domain is universaltelco.my.site.com and your site URL is customers, the CommunitiesLandingPage is shown when someone enters https://universaltelco.my.site.com/customers.

There are two methods for using a custom home page.

  • Update the CommunitiesLandingController code to redirect to the new page:
    1. From Setup, enter Apex Classes in the Quick Find box, then select Apex Classes.
    2. Click Edit next to CommunitiesLandingController.
    3. Replace the code so that it reads: 
      public with sharing class CommunitiesLandingController {
public PageReference forwardToStartPage() {
}
}
    4. Replace https://universaltelcom.my.site.com with the URL for your site.
    5. Click Save.
  • Alternatively, you can replace the Active Site Home Page with a custom Visualforce page.
    1. From Setup, enter Digital Experiences in the Quick Find box, then select All Sites.
    2. Click Workspaces next to the site name.
    3. Click Administration | Pages | Go to Force.com.
    4. In the Site Detail section, click Edit.
    5. In the Active Site Home Page field, select your custom Visualforce page.
    6. Click Save.

When a user enters the URL, they see the new Active Site Home Page.
