Although `.Store` should maintain the content after a re-rendering of the page, it seems that it does not.  
The content disappears when I change the content of the \_index.md file.

I have this \_index.md:

```plaintext
+++
title = "Solutions"
type = "page"
description = ""
weight = 100
layout = "solutions"
+++

{{< content home >}}
This is the content inside the `top` shortcode, which will be captured for use in the template.
{{< /content >}}

```

This shortcode stores the content in .Store:

```plaintext
{{ $loc := .Get 0 }}
{{ $.Page.Store.Set $loc .Inner }}

```

And this is the template solution.html:

```plaintext
{{ $home := "" }}
{{ with .Page.Store.Get "home" }}
    {{ $home = . | safeHTML }}
{{ end }}

{{ $home }}

```

It works perfectly, but as soon as I change \_index.md, the content is not rendered anymore.

This is strange because it behaves like `.Scratch`.

Thank you for the help!

Is there a “top” shortcode, or is the text incorrect? Assuming there isn’t a “top” shortcode, I suspect you are trying to access `Store` before the page content has been evaluated.

Force the content to be evaluated before accessing the `Store`.

layouts/\_default/solutions.html

```plaintext
{{ define "main" }}
  <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>

  {{ $home := "" }}
  {{ $noop := .WordCount }} <---------- FORCES CONTENT EVALUATION
  {{ with .Page.Store.Get "home" }}
    {{ $home = . | safeHTML }}
  {{ end }}
  {{ $home }}

  {{ .Content }}
  {{ range .Pages }}
    <h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

```

I guess they were referring to the shortcode _above_ – top being a location, not a name

It works perfectly.  
Thank you!

BTW, “top” had no particular meaning. It was only part of the different test text I created 😉
