    I’m using wpfolio and have made several changes using the child theme but am having difficulty removing the default “home” from the menu. I cannot find the code in either the child or parent theme’s header.php files.

    Having searching the forums and tried several methods mentioned such as trying to exclude it using code and plugins but neither work as the page doesn’t exist, only the link remains on the menu. What looks like a small problem is driving me a little crazy so any help is appreciated.

    The Twenty Ten theme supports custom menus where you add in only the items you want. Here is a tutorial on setting up a custom menu.

    Thanks t-p but “I’m using wpfolio”, it must be a simple method to remove the default Home tab in the nav menu, i just can’t find it and i’ve searched all through the parent and child theme.

    Is “wpfolio” paid or free theme?

    I downloaded “wpfolio” on to my computer and looked around a bit, but I could not figure out how to remove the default “Home”.

    I noticed you also have another menu item called “New Home”. Did you add that yourself? If you added yourself, then you should be able undo it. Similarly, you should be able to remove the default “Home”.

    this ‘home’ links to a page with the id 218 – have a look in the admin area under ‘pages’ and see if this page exists – maybe as draft.

    cheers guys but there are only 2 pages showing under my admin area, both published and no drafts.
    The page/link “Home proper” and “about” are the only 2 pages and links that work so i think its only the text showing on the menu, just not sure where to find it.

    Found a way around it, just using a custom navigation menu will delete the original and therefore remove the default “Home”.

    I removed this code

    <ul>

      <li class="<?php if (is_home()) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">Home</a></li>

    from my header.php and it worked a treat.
