Problem with Page Name in Nav Bar

  • booknbetty · Member ·

    My site, http://betty lasorella.com, uses a static page, called “Home” for its homepage. The blog postings go on another page, called “Betty’s Notions.” There is no page whose name is “Blog,”, yet on the nav bar, the page which is actually the homepage and is named “Home” shows up as “Blog.” This is very confusing, and I can’t figure out how to change it so that it says “Home.” Please advise!
    Thank you

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there,
    This is an active link that we can click on and immediately view your blog. http://bettylasorella.com/ I’m posting it now and will use it to view your blog and then I will answer your question.

    Several themes have a special header tab, usually “Home”, occasionally “Homepage” [*] or “Blog” [**] or an image [***]: that’s not a page such as those you create but a link back to the blog front (the main blog URL, which can be your latest posts or a static page). That tab is hard-coded into the theme: you cannot edit or remove it from the K2 Lite theme. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/the-home-tab/

    What you can do is create a custom menu and include only the pages you choose to include in it. 1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    2. You add the Parent pages you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

    3. Then you add and drop and drag the subpages below the appropriate Parent pages, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

    4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pulldown labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

    5. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view see your new menu with Parent pages and dropdowns to sub-pages.

    The theme you are using has “blog” coded into the theme as the main page. To fix that you need to create a custom menu and then add only the pages that you want to appear in the top navigation to that. Add the “home” page and the other pages and arrange them as you wish.
