WordPress.org

Where do I find the code written that controls the Home buttons on the header. I have several buttons labeled and functioning properly at the base of the header, but two of the buttons are labeled "home", one of which points properly, and the other of which does not.

Please help me clean this up.

Ver. 2.3.1

header.php of the theme.
It is an issue discussed several times around here. If you use the frontpage/postspage feature from Options > Reading AND the theme already has a hard coded "home" link in the menu - you end up with 2 Home links.
Remove the hard coded link.

where is the hard coded link?

header.php

Your response in enigmatic to me. Please be specific, so I can solve this mystery. I have had the problem for two months now, and still no answer that solves it. I have had two people look at ti, and they can't solve it either. Something is wrong here!

This is an enigmatic answer. Please be specific. You accuse me of rambling, yet you refuse to give me an answer I can use. Don't close this until my problem is solved!!

Moshu, please answer this!!!

Fisrt of all I am not obliged to answer anything - none of the volunteer helpers have any kind of "obligation".

You were given the exact answer several times in several different threads. So, here is for the last time:
- open your theme's header.php file in a plain text editor on your computer (Notepad would be fine)
- make a backup copy, just in case something goes wrong
- find the link (anchor tag: <a href...>Home</a>) with the link text "Home".
- delete it
- upload the edited file via FTP to your server in the proper directory: wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/

If all this is "enigmatic" for you - then you have a few choices:
a) stop thinkering with your blog
b) learn basic HTML if you want to own and modify a website
c) pay somebody to do it for you

Moshu, thank you so much for your instructions :)

I've been trying to figure this out for a week, and your instructions were most helpful. Now, I finally have only one Home page.

Hi,
I am new to wordpress. but I have some questions around the above issue:
In themes where the homepage is hardcoded, what document does it link to? does it reformat the blog as the front page, or does it link to some hardcoded home page. When the theme hardcodes the homepage, how does one edit it if it is not in the page list? also, is there a way to have the title field be different from the link name, as in, " I want the page to be called home in the page list, but I don't want "home" as the title to the text on my front page."

Also if one selects the option as a static page for the home page, where can one display the blog?
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
