I am trying to change the layout of home page to 2columns-left.phtml
.
According to my understanding if I change the template file of the "root" block, in page.xml layout file, to the above template file then the layout should change. But it is not happening.
By default, as I can see, the root block has page/3columns.phtml
template file applied in page.xml. But when I used template hints, I have seen that the page is rendering with 2columns-right.phtml
.
So, I searched for page/2columns-right.phtml
in every file and replaced it with page/2columns-left.phtml
. Still the page is rendering the layout of page/2columns-right.phtml
.
I made the above changes in catalogsearch.xml
and catalog.xml
files. (By overriding in my new theme folder).
what I am missing here?

You can change the layout of the homepage from the backend.
Cms->Pages->homepage
and in theDesign
tab you should have a dropdown with all available layouts. Select from it2 columns with left bar
and save.
