Two links to homepage in nav bar???

    I’ve looked around for a solution to this but I’m either stupid or they don’t explain things explicitly enough for a newbie at WordPress.

    The link to my blog is https://www.premierpds.co.uk and I’m currently using the Harvest theme!

    I wanted a static home page so created a page named ‘home’ and created another page titled ‘blog’ for my posts page. both these pages appear in the top navigation bar as they should. However, since the theme came with it’s own ‘homepage’, there are now two links the home page in the main nav bar which both lead to the same place. I need to get rid of, hide or replace the ‘homepage’ link that came with the theme with my own ‘home’ page…how do I do this??? I’d really appreciate your help…getting really frustrated with it now after searching around for days trying to find a solution!!!

    You will probably find a hard-coded reference to Home in your theme’s header.php file that will need deleting.

    This code displays Homepage so delete it

    <li class="page_item<?php if (is_home()) echo ' current_page_item'; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" class="current_page_item">Homepage</a></li>

    Thanks Michael…phew, FINALLY…all’s well now and the homepage that came with the theme is now gone…couldn’t have done it without you, you’re my hero lol!!!

    Even though this is resolved, I’m suffering from the same thng on a website hosted at www.remarpro.com, so I cannot do some of the things these forums talk about.

    How do I get rid of an extra home page when I don’t want it?

    Yours in anticipation
