How to make a Home page in Manage Pages ?

I’ve got a similair question. I was wondering how to turn a page into a link to the default start page.
In some themes there is a HOME button, in some themes there’s not.
I use the Black Energy 1.0 (by qualitywordpress)theme on my WordPress version 2.6.2.

There is a nice little plugin called page links to at https://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/ which allows you to define a page so that it appears in the nav bar, but instead of going to a wordpress “page” it just goes to another url or a wordpress page if you have the url.

In your case, you would create a page titled “Home” and just link it to the url or your home page. Since it’s a page, it will appear in the nav menu and in the page widget. It’s easy to add a home page button to your nav bar by a simple code addition but it would not appear in the page widget.

And if I don’t want all pages appear in the nav menu?
I think I have to change header.php

<!-- Menu -->
		<div id="header-menu">
			<ul>
				<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=-1'); ?>
			</ul>
		</div>
		<!-- /Menu -->

But what should I change there to make for instance 4 nav menu buttons and remove the pages?
I think I’ll have to remove ‘<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=-1′); ?>’ and put some links in stead of it?

you can exclude pages by hard coding it into the header.php like

<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&exclude=62,75’); ?>

or you can use a plugin like pagemash

Go to Settings / Reading

For ‘Front page displays’ choose: ‘A static page’

Then choose which of the pages you have created will be your frontpage.

Thank you all !
