banner at the top of the main page of my blog
-
Hello,
I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I’m just getting started with a new blog powered by WordPress and hosted by GoDaddy. After setting up the blog using one of the templates GoDaddy provides, there is a banner at the top of the main page with a link at the left labeled “My WordPress Site” and links at the right labeled “About”, “Media”, “Contact info”, and with the search icon.
I want to edit what appears in this banner–in particular I want to get rid of the “Media” link which I don’t want. However when I go to edit the page, the banner at the top no longer appears–although the rest of the page still does–so I’m unable to edit anything in the banner and am stuck with the default content.
I’m sure there must be a way of editing this content–can anyone help me out with how? Again, I apologize for what I’m sure is a very basic question, but I’m just getting started.

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current host. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, but as it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help.

Thanks for the reply, fstat! I will post my question at the open-source WordPress forums. I am reluctant to move my site to WordPress, as it is my intention that my site will eventually have more content than just a blog powered by WordPress, although the blog is what I am starting with.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching back out!
I recommend reaching out to the WordPress.org forum we mentioned above.
However, I did want to mention that WordPress can be used for so much more than just a blog. You can build both a website and a blog using WordPress. WordPress is a versatile content management system that allows you to create a variety of websites, including blogs, e-commerce sites, portfolio websites, and more!
We’d love for you to give WordPress.com a try :-) We are a managed host for WordPress and we offer WordPress specific support – we are WordPress experts and are ready to help. We only host WordPress sites and we manage all the technical stuff for you so you can focus on what matters most – your content.
If you are interested, here is information on how you can move your WordPress.org site to WordPress.com:
