The block isn't shown on the front page I have a view block that shows a sub-set of nodes. In the configuration page, the autopreview section shows content, so I know the filters for the view are set up correctly. I configured the block to show on only the listed pages and entered &lt;front&gt; for the page.  Unfortunately, the front page shows only the following content and a static block.


  No front page content has been created yet.

The weird part is that this static block is configured the same way the view is configured  to show only on the front page.

Why doesn't the view block appear on the front page?
There is something else you should check. If this is a new site, and you have newly named regions, make sure that the regions have underscores (instead of dashes.) If you need to convert any dashes to underscores, you'll have to reassign and re-enable the blocks on the Structure > Block Layout page.
