Hi “esmi”,

Thanks for your advice. I was able to edit sidebar.php so that “home” has been renamed to “Blog Homepage” and I was able to add a “CND Homepage” link that goes back to the index page of my site. Exactly what I wanted. I figured out how to delete the sample “About” page and now that’s gone from the links. I still haven’t figured out how to edit the links in the header nav bar to match what I did with the sidebar. One would assume that header.php must be edited. I took a look at the files but the structure of the header nav links is rather convoluted. Perhaps the instructor of my Tues night PHP class can help me decipher that…

Thanks again!

Okay, I solved my problem by switching to the “Blend” theme. Apparently the “Selector” theme does not provide the back-end coding to display post content or title on the home page; it simply displays an image called “noimage.png” where the post would ordinarily go on the homepage. There is a “hot-spot” in the the roughly 300px x 300px square that contains “noimage.png.” The “hot-spot” takes you to the post if you click on it. However, as I said, there is no text whatsoever in that 300×300 box. I’m sure Constructor is a lovely theme but I’m new to WP and not ready to code the basic function of having my posts appear on the home page.

That being said, I do have a new question… My awesome new blog homepage (https://www.centerfoldnextdoor.com/blog) has a nav bar just below the “Masthead” and directly above the body content. The defualt links are “Home” , which brings me to the blog homepage and “About” which brings me to a sample page that I didn’t write. I would like to edit these links. First-off, I’d like to change the label of “Home” to “Blog Home” so that people don’t think it’s going to take them back to the index page of Centerfoldnextdoor.com. Next I’d like to get rid of “About” since it links to a BS sample page that I don’t need or want. Finally, I’d like to add a link to return to my website’s homepage : https://www.centerfoldnextdoor.com. Can someone please tell me which specific PHP file in which specific directory would need to be edited in order to accomplish this task? Also, can you give a hint as to what the basic structure of the code would be? I know how to write a nav bar in HTML using a

with
• . I also know hoe to style nav bars in CSS. I’m currently learning PHP through a class at SVA in NYC.

Thanks in advance!!!
