Static Home Page 2.1 and Posts Page

Ok, I cracked it. Didn’t realise I had to make another empty static page, just called it News and it worked.

This is it! But, in case anyone doesn’t see exactly what Leanda means by “make another empty static page”, it’s this:

Create a new Page with whatever Title you want. Leanda chose “News”. You can use “My Blog” or whatever.

It doesn’t matter if you put anything in the Page Content box when you create the Page. Nothing will show up when you view it, and the only place you will see “News” or “My Blog” is as the text link to the page — in the page navigation in the Sidebar.

After you create your new static page and Publish it, go back to Options > Reading in the Dashboard. That’s where you selected your static home page in the first place (www.remarpro.com calls it a “Front page”).

Select the page you want to use for the home/front page (if you haven’t already), and then below that select your new page — “News” or “My Blog” or whatever — as the Posts page.

Click Update Options and you’re done!

I have created a static page titled it “Welcome” and designated it as my home page. I created a different static page and designated it as my posts page.

So far so good. My site opens to “Welcome” and the post page shows up just like it should.

The problem is that my menu still shows a “home” page. Clicking on that link opens the “Welcome” page. How do I get “Home” out of that menu?

How do I get “Home” out of that menu?

And how are we supposed to know the answer without having a link, knowing which theme you are talking about, what code is in your “menu”… etc.?

Sorry, thought things were a little more straightforward.

english.budapestbaptist.com Using the Earthy Theme.

No additional code, other than WP and the theme.

Thanks.

That ‘home” link is hardcoded in the theme’s header.php file!
Delete it:
<li><a href="https://english.budapestbaptist.com/">Home</a></li>

It might look like
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>

(s aztán a magyar mikor lesz meg?)

Ugh. I should have seen that. Didn’t think about the theme being a factor.

Thanks for your help.

If you are asking if Hungarian is on the way, indeed it is.
