Two Home Pages?

  • Ok, I’ve created a new page title “Home”, and set it so my blog shows static page “Home” as the front page.

    Now however, I have the wordpress default “home” page showing in the pages tab, as well as my created home page.

    I can’t get rid of the default home page, and it doesn’t show up in the pages section, so I can’t edit it and add content.

    Is this a major flaw in WordPress, or am I missing something.

    How do you have a static home page that you can add content to without having two home pages?

    It sounds like the homepage link is hardcoded into your theme’s navigation.

    Open your header.php (or whichever template file is creating the navigation links) and look for wp_page_menu(); or wp_list_pages(); (there’s more between the parentheses).

    Either refer to the two bottom links to fix the function call or paste the code around those function calls here so we can see what is getting called to generate your navigation.

    Awesome, thank you.

    I just deleted this line from above list_pages, and it worked.

    • “>Home

      • On an unrelated note, my site doesn’t seem to update anything unless I republish a page.

      For example, I deleted that line of code, reloaded my site, and nothing happened, so I thought it wasn’t working. Then I changed some stuff on a page, reloaded again, and the changes were there.

      I’ve tried this again a few times, and it will only update when I update an existing page.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks!

    Your welcome, glad it you were able to fix it.

    As for the other issue, do you have any caching plugins (like WP Super Cache) installed?

    If not, it could potentially be some kind of php/server level cache installed by your host.

    No I don’t have that installed… I’ll try that out.

    Thanks a lot for the help :).
