How to put posts on News page not Home page

  • I see the ability to change what shows up on default page under Settings. However if I don’t want posts on the default (HOME) page, i ahve to specify a different page for posts (NEWS) and a different page for Home. If I make a page called Home and point default to the page “Home”, it works, but then I have TWO “HOME” links in my page navigation. I made the HOME page private which suppresses the second home button but then it shows “Private Home” for default page header (and probably requires authentication to view?)

    I assume there’s some simple technique to have the default be a static page that doesn’t show posts (but which doesn’t show up twice?).

    Thanks!

  • You overcomplicate it.
    Delete the hard-coded “home” link from your theme: most likely in header.php file. Kick the ass of the theme author to NOT put hard coded links in the files. Done.

    cool, thanks moshu!

    you were right – that theme author had hard-coded a HOME link in the sidebar ala
    <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
