change navigation bar text?

  • Hi there good people of the forum. I used the code up on here https://www.LiewCF.com/ to add navigation buttons to my wordpress theme based on the pages that are there and the standard Kubrick theme. All working fine except the ‘blog’ page, I would like to be called news. I’m not quite sure what the nav bar is referencing to generate that first ‘blog’ tab and so don’t know how to change it, the rest correspond to the page titles..

    Help massively appreciated!

  • Can you post the code to your header.php?

    See this code?

    <div>
<ul id="supernav">
<li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">">Blog
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

</div>
<div id="hack"></div>

    Looks like it should be this:

    <div>
<ul id="supernav">
<li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>">News</li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</div>
<div id="hack"></div>

    Try that and let me know.

    Hi I have the same prob–I want to add pages to my existing site: https://www.Ideasmyth.com–how do I do this?

    You go onto your Dashboard and WRITE a PAGE, instead of a POST.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for your help. I think you identified the correct code but it didn’t actually work, I have got it working now though, so thanks a lot. Resolved!

    when people solve a problem is it possible for them to explain how they solved it so that it keeps the flow of the post. I think solutions are more important than the question or knowing someone has solved it.

    Thank you

    Yeah – what did prove to be the correction?
