# Themes in the Shopify Theme Store no longer include a page setting type on the homepage

Themes in the Shopify Theme Store no longer include a [page setting type](https://help.shopify.com/themes/development/theme-editor/settings-schema#page) on the homepage by default. The [richtext setting type](https://help.shopify.com/themes/development/theme-editor/settings-schema#richtext) will be the main method to add content to the homepage. Any apps that require merchants to install code to display content on the homepage need to update their docs and setup to provide an easier installation. The page setting type is still available for custom development.

***

With the addition of the [richtext setting type](https://help.shopify.com/themes/development/theme-editor/settings-schema#richtext), merchants had been adding content directly to the homepage. This method is preferred since it lets merchants see edits in real time.
