    I found that old explanation. Since I have version 2.6.3, I wonder if it will still work.

    Look at the Front page displays options in Administration > Settings > Reading.

    I created a new page called Home. Then I went to header.php and deleted the part with title>Home<
    Then I went to Settings>Reading and clicked Static Front Page. Then I clicked Home. Bingo. Done.

    I don’t know how old this post is, but erika_conn, You are a genius!

    I am using wp 2.7 and this is what i deleted in the header.php file:

    • /”>Home

      • That totally killed the constant link to the home page, so now there is only one link to home instead of 2. Thanks!

    the above post didn’t show everything:

    what i deleted was everything between and including the 2 “list” tags < li > almost at the very bottom of header.php.

    Erika and JRyan you are both absolute gems !

    Erika’s exact 1-2-3 help was terrific. Her ‘home’ reference didn’t jive with what I was seeing in header.php, but JRyan’s extra “what I deleted” (even though your exact code didn’t appear) was what nailed it !

    For anyone else still scratching their heads, I’m using the Portfolio Press theme, my deletable ‘home’ in header.php, was in the middle of a ‘php if’ reference and a ‘php get settings’ reference and right after the ‘ul id = menu’ about 10 lines from the bottom of the page.

    Whew ! I feel tremendous right now, this is just what I wanted ! No blogs here, just a snappy CMS / Portfolio page, woot !

    That worked great…

    Except now all my PAGES text is underlined like a link..! What could I have done?
