Two “Home” navigation buttons! How to fix?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi all,

    I am making a non-blog site, hosted at WordPress.COM, with all static pages and no posts. I am using the “Connections” (green) theme, as you can see at the site, http://ashleighsessence.wordpress.com/ .

    However, there are TWO “Home” navigation buttons in the top nav bar! I have gone into the Dashboard under “Pages” and there is only one. I have tried deleting it, but then one of them still stays (but one disappears). I also have gone into the “Settings” menu and to the “Reading” settings, and set the front page to display a static page, and made sure there is no “Posts Page” set.

    Any thoughts on how to get rid of this? Is it simply built into the template, and I can’t get around it?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Look at this support document, and especially the section called “notes” and follow the link there about hiding one of the home page tabs.

    Thanks a bunch, thesacredpath! That helps solve the first problem.

    I wonder, though, if it creates a new problem. The solution was to simply make my home page have a different “parent page.” However, if I have a “Navigation” widget, and I want it to display all my pages in hierarchies, won’t this then display my “home” page as a subpage of that other parent page, and then be a new problem?

    I appreciate the help! Worst-case-scenario, I won’t use the “Navigation” widget. But if you have any insight into this latter part, that would be tremendous!

    Thanks again so much for your very fast help. (How did you know about that obscure page so quickly?!)

    Yes it will, but you can exclude that page from showing in the pages widget: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/pages-widget/ .
