  Can you clarify where it is you are seeing ‘Hem’? At this time I am not seeing it anywhere on any of your pages or in any of the URLs. (I am currently only able to see post pages, so I wonder if the home page you are editing is not yet published?)

  Even so, if you are looking to remove ‘Hem’ from the URL for the homepage itself, the instructions here should be able to help: https://wordpress.com/support/permalinks-and-slugs/

  I removed it entirely as I was unable to edit the text.

  It was a home link like in this example: https://wordpress.com/theme/twentytwentytwo-red

  See in the header, “Home” (About, Event, Film)? That was the kind of item I meant. I could press on the item and do a bunch of other things, just not edit the actual text.

  Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. I actually just ran into a slightly similar problem trying to edit a header on one of my sites as well.

  The Twenty Twenty Two theme uses full site editing. You can edit the header by first creating a custom menu in the customizer, then adding that menu to whichever template part you are using for the header on your pages.

  First, you’ll want to create the menu with the appropriate page names you want to be included by going to Appearance–>Customize–>Menus and creating a new menu.

  Once you’ve saved that menu, you can go back into the full site editor (Appearance–>Editor), navigate to “Template Parts” on the dashboard, then select whichever header template part you are using on your homepage and other pages to edit it. To add your custom menu to the header navigation for that template, select the navigation menu block icon to add it to your header. Once added, you can choose the custom menu you would like to use for the header navigation menu on your site.

  Based on the video example here, you would want to click on “add existing menu” and select the custom menu you created.

  Hope this helps!
