header.php access

  • I’m using Gridiculous. I saw on another forum post how to put a home page link on my nav bar. It called for altering the code in the header.php. I can’t seem to find that. I only access the header picture, no code. I’m trying to go live by tomorrow and I need that to work or else no one can get back to my blog post. The following was the fix for someone many years ago using a different theme
    Would I use the same and if so, how do I get to my header.php?

    thank you,
    Meredith

    In your header.php, look for …

    <div id="naviation"

    This DIV holds your nav bar, once you find that you should see something not far below that looks similiar to this…

    <ul>
<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
</ul>

    Change it to….

    <ul>
<li><a>/">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
</ul>

  • Code is often quite theme-specific, so trying something from another theme is not generally a good idea. Outdated code even more unlikely to be relevant.

    Try using a custom menu to set what appears in the menu –

    Thank you. I just realized I have a Home menu. I also have menus with the names of all my pages. I think I may have gotten confused early on.
    This is where that is:

    I couldn’t see the menus on the navigation bar so I put the pages on the home menu. I don’t think that is exactly what I want. Maybe this is what I want:
    Under expertise menu, I put Expertise/services page, etc.
    Do you think?
    Thank you for your response.

    It’s not possible for non-logged in people to see your dashboard – but you should be able to make a custom menu and drag/drop the menu items however you like. Is that working for you?

    I made a custom menu item and put the website url as the link. that works. Thank you!
