Why are there some templates that have no Home item on the menu?

  • Unknown's avatar

    There are some templates that appeal, but have no Home item set up on the menu. I feel sure there’s an easy way to create it, but … ?

  • Howdy,

    Sure thing. Some themes have a “placeholder” menu already in place; others wait for you to create it. You can create a menu from Appearance->Custom Menus.

    We have a video showing the process at Custom Menus.

    To add a “Home” item, you’d want to create a “Link” menu item, replace the http:// with a single / and then set the link text to Home (or whatever you’d like).

    If you have any questions, please let me know!

    Well! – O wise and bearded person, I thank you! :-)
    I kinda knew there’d be a solution but, as always, I knew not how to find it for myself.
    Where would we all be without you guys?!

    OBO … have found that creating that link menu item as my ‘home’ (which I call, simply ‘Blog’) can’t be done by replacing the
    http://
    with a single slash! I tried. I also tried replacing with a single slash and removing the ‘www.’, in case …
    But the only way I seem to be able to get it to work is to enter it like a full URL. What moronic thing am I doing wrong, please?

  • Howdy again!

    I’m not sure off-hand. I went into your Custom Menu and changed it for you so you can see how it should look.

    Please let me know if you have any questions!
