How to officially set a page as the Home page in WordPress (without /home permalink)?

[MWPA]

Is it possible to officially define a page as the Home Page within the WordPress CMS so that it automatically removes the /home permalink?

For example, the default Privacy Policy Page in WordPress displays a black bar with information like: — Draft, Privacy Policy Page (see screenshot below).

On another WordPress site I’m working on, I see a similar label for the designated Home Page (see screenshot below).

However, in LayTheme, I don't see this behavior, and the permalink /home remains. (See screenshot below.)

Is there a way to set a page as the official Home Page so that WordPress treats it accordingly and removes /home from the URL?

ah you set the homepage in customize → frontpage

[arminunruh]

when you then link to / then its that page
but it will also still be available as /home/

thats the only way i think

Thanks Armin,

I knew how to set it up, but it seems that the theme uses a solution that is not an 'official' WordPress method. I was wondering why this is the case.

In the screenshots I shared, you can see the black text that is added by WordPress itself.

the reason is its not possible to set a category page as the frontpage with the normal wordpress way.

and with the way i coded it for laytheme, you can also set the category page as a frontpage.
