How to remove the second "home" link after creating a static front page?
-
I created a static “homepage” to be my front page- but the theme I set has a default “home” link that doesn’t lead anywhere- and I don’t know how to remove it. I don’t know what a template files is, or how to edit one. Help!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. Go to Appearance > Widgets. If you see no widgets in the sidebar, it means your theme is currently displaying its default set of widgets. Drag and drop a Pages widget, but follow the instructions below to exclude a page (namely the superfulous home page)

Sorry to bother you again- but the problem with this, is that the page isn’t listed in the “pages” section- so I don’t know what it’s page ID is. How do I find this out? (and thank you :) )

I had the same problem as slightlycrimson. I switched all the info from the new page I created to that “Home” page and deleted the new page since I couldn’t figure out how to delete “Home”.
Is there a way to re-name the “Home” page tab to something friendlier, like “Hello!”? I tried via the edit window, but I cannot change that “Home” for nothing!
And what IS a “page ID” – I haven’t come across that term yet.

There are two approaches you can use. One is to “hide” a page and the other is to create a “custom menu” and only include the pages you want in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/hide-pages/

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 (except in Bueno, Motion, and Titan). http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/the-home-tab/

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.

Thank you, timethief. I hope it’s easier to do than it sounds! .^_^.
