  • You mean showing custom cms block text/content or admin panel created cms block text/content?

in admin panel go to Content->Pages and edit home page and if you created your static block from admin panel add following to the Content tab

{{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" block_id="your_block_identifier"}}

and if you created a custom block using a module add following to home page content tab

{{block class="Vendor\ModuleName\Block\BlockName" template="Vendor_ModuleName::yourcustomblock.phtml"}}

then save the changes and flush magento cache and deploy/delete static contents now refresh home page .

If this was not worked let me know

  • From my module's cms_index_index.xml, I added this in Home Page content - <block class="Vendor\Module\Block\Index" name="modulename" template="module.phtml"></block> and It says Error filtering template: Invalid template file: 'Vendor_Module::module.phtml' in module: 'Vendor_Module' block's name: 'index_0'``

try this or else post your code then we will suggest you where you went wrong.

Block file

<?php
namespace Learning\SmartSearch\Block;

class SmartSearch extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
    public function getTitle()
    {
        return "Smart Search";
    }
}

etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Learning_SmartSearch" setup_version="1.0.0">
    </module>
</config>

view/layout/cms_index_index.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="Learning\SmartSearch\Block\SmartSearch" template="Learning_SmartSearch::html/cms.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

view/templates/html/cms.phtml

<h1><?php echo $block->getTitle(); ?></h1>

after creating flush cache.

I hope this will help you. If you are not getting results let me know.

In the home page you can call the static block like the below mentioned way

{{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" block_id="your_block_identifier"}}

In the html page you can call the static block like the below mentioned way.

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')->setBlockId('block_identifier')->toHtml();?>
