You will need to do a bit withcustom menus and the customizer
Try this:
1) Go to Appearance->Menus. The right side of the screen should have a section called Menu Structure. You should see your “Abundant Living” menu item.
2) Expand the Abundant Living menu item. There will be a text box named Navigation Label. It should currently read Abundant Living.
3) Change the Navigation Label to your new menu item name.
4) Click Save Menu. You can refresh your blog here and see if the changes show. If they don’t, keep going.
5) Go to Appearance->Customize.
6) In the blue bar on the right side of the screen, there is an option for Menus, click on Menus
7) In the Primary Menu drop down, select your custom menu where you just changed your label.
8) Click Save in the bottom of the blue bar.
9) Refresh your blog and you should see the changes.Good luck!

Hmm. If you haven’t already, watch the video in this menu support document http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and follow the steps that they walk you through.

I will give it a go. Worst case if I can’t get it done, and a guru would be willing to help…I will give access to the site and do it for me!!! :-)

Hi there,
I see that you were able to set up a Custom Menu.
Let me know if you have any questions with this!
Happy Blogging!

So nothing is working. I am wondering if I am going to have to recreate my entire site to have this changed. Very annoyed. Seems it should be very simple but it is not!
-
Can you please explain what you want to do? I’m not quite sure. Your Site title was changed which I believe was your first inquiry and a Custom Menu was created as well.

Ok so the main page where all my posts show up. It is titles “Abundant Living” I set it up when I first started the site. I have other pages too across the top but the primary one is what I want to change. I want to change from “Abundant Living ” to “the LifeLine” . Here is my blog so you can see where I am talking about therighteouswoman.wordpress.com

Ah, I see! Thanks for the clarification. So you can change this by going to Appearance > Menus in your Dashboard.
Then you will see the box titled Abundant Living. Click on the upside down triangle in that box. Then, under “Navigation Label” remove Abundant Living and put in:
the LifeLine
Finally, click Save Menu at the bottom and you should be set!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Thanks. That was what was suggested first. So when I went to appearance then menus, in menu structure it was blank. So I added what I wanted it to be, saved it, and still nothing… it still says abundant living. I guess I can leave it if there is no way to change it, but this isn’t the first problem I have had trying to make changes. This is just the biggest.

Hi there,
I was able to change it for you as seen here:
Let me know if you want to change it back or that is not what you wanted.
Cheers!
