Assign a different home page in theme Center Row

I’m building our site with the theme Center Row and am trying to assign a different home page. The default page (reached when clicking the logo) sends me to the default page (content determined in the theme configuration). But this page doesn’t allow for much customization…I tried using shortcodes to get what we wanted, but it doesn’t seem to recognize them and just gives the plain text.

I like the way it displays the featured exhibit and want to move that to another page, but can’t see how. If I could find a way to either tell the configuration to use a different page, or how to move what is displayed on that page to another - but don’t know how!

You can see the current default at 1696heritage.com/omeka

Assigning a home page is separate from the theme. You want to use the dropdown on the Appearance>Navigation tab.
