Not sure what the “workaround” was, but if it’s the 404 redirect method referenced in this thread, I’m pretty sure that’s been discussed before in the forum.
The problem, of course, is that regardless of what appears in the address bar, it generates a 404, which tells browsers and search engines that the requested resource doesn’t exist (which is precisely the opposite of what’s desired).
Anyway, I know of a couple ways to create a dynamic home page using only Bubble logic (workflows) on the index page itself, but neither uses the “Path”, so they are not ideal (but almost certainly better than generating 404’s). I’ll post them under “Tips” so as not to clutter this feature request thread.
