I’m using LocalWP for the first time and have imported several Divi layout pages. Usually I would go to my WP dashboard --> Settings --> Reading and select my home page as static, but there is no such choice.
How to I select my home page as static when using LocalWP?
Troubleshooting Questions
Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?

System Details
Which version of Local is being used? 5.9.0
What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used? macOS Mojave 10.14.6
For example: macOS Catalina or Windows 10 Professional
Attach the Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:
Setting the static homepage should be the same in Local as it is in other environments. I just tried this with the most recent version of Local and that setting appears to be there:
Have you tried accessing that setting from a new, plain WordPress site? Additionally, are other plugins being installed on this site that might affect how this setting is displayed?
When I went to publish a page in LocalWP it gave me the following choices [Public], [Private] & [Password Protected]. Since the site is just being build I didn’t think the [Public] choice was appropriate so I chose the [Private] choice. I learned that the [Public] choice didn’t mean it was going live for all the world to see. When I chose the [Public] choice my issue was resolved and I was able to select a static home page.
