Duplicate Home Page with Vigilance Theme
-
Hello. Yes, I know this topic has been covered in this forum before, but I’ve run up against another glitch for which I cannot find a solution. I do not want the home page of my site to a blog page. So I created a duplicate home page and made another page its parent, as instructed in this forum. I’ve also hidden that page from the list in the right hand sidebar. So, I have a static home page with no duplicate listing. However, when you are on my home page, both it and the next page “Programme” have the blue underscore which indicates which page is active. Is there any way I can get rid of the blue underscore under “Programme” when you are on the home page?
thank you! Lenora

What I meant to say above is that on the Home page both Home and Programme appear in blue with a blue rule on top.

I just ran into this problem day before yesterday. You’ll find that it’s the page that you have made the adoptive parent of your static home page that gets the unwanted underscore. What you need to do is to ignore the workaround suggested in help (which uses adoptive parent pages…) and instead use a workaround that’s specific to Vigilance. Remove the ‘parent’ relationship you have created for your static home page. Then under Appearance>Vigilance Options, at the top you will have the choice of specifying pages which you do not want to appear in the top level navigation. What you need to do is specify the page id of your static home page.
This page ID is not the ‘order’ attribute that you can specify for pages (alas…). Instead, you can find this page id in the permalink listed on the edit page (which is obscured by some buttons…!), also in your brower header which you see when you are editing your home page will show something like yourblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=NN, where NN is the number you need to use when telling Vigilance not to put that page in the navbar.
Not obvious…but it worked for me. Hope it works for you, too!
