banner at the top of the main page of my blog

  • Hello,

    I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I’m just getting started with a new blog powered by WordPress and hosted by GoDaddy. After setting up the blog using one of the templates GoDaddy provides, there is a banner at the top of the main page with a link at the left labeled “My WordPress Site” and links at the right labeled “About”, “Media”, “Contact info”, and with the search icon.

    I want to edit what appears in this banner–in particular I want to get rid of the “Media” link which I don’t want. However when I go to edit the page, the banner at the top no longer appears–although the rest of the page still does–so I’m unable to edit anything in the banner and am stuck with the default content.

    I’m sure there must be a way of editing this content–can anyone help me out with how? Again, I apologize for what I’m sure is a very basic question, but I’m just getting started.

    • please share a link to your website so volunteers on this forum can check on the situation.
    • alternatively, if you are using a template (theme?) supplied by GoDaddy, you could also ask GoDaddy directly for guidance.

    Thanks for the reply, Lisa!

    I’m reluctant to do what you are asking, as that would require that I reveal the site’s URL in a public forum. Although this blog will ultimately be for public consumption, I don’t want to draw any public attention to it until I get some very basic stub content up there–and I can’t do that until this problem is fixed. I had hoped this problem might be one of those no-brainer things that everyone who is new encounters and is fixed very easily.

    When you host a site with GoDaddy, GoDaddy provides the opportunity to add one of a number of applications to the site. This is done through something that they refer to as cPanel / Installatron. Through cPanel / Installatron, I installed WordPress 6.1.1 on my GoDaddy-hosted site. The next step is to choose a starter template to use with WordPress 6.1.1. A number of options are provided: Keynote, Oliver, Bambino, Barista, …

    I chose Keynote as my starter template. The “Media” link which I want to delete–and can’t seem to find a way to delete–is provided as part of the Keynote starter template.

    I will post my question at GoDaddy as well.

    • I am not able to find the theme “Keynote” in https://www.ads-software.com/themes/ area to see how it operates.
    • GoDaddy might be able to help with guidance for a theme that they have provided or created.

    Hey @davidash43,

    Kristy here, from GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress eCommerce team. ?? I’m happy to help with this!

    The Keynote template for our Go Theme creates a page called Media in WordPress that is then added to your site’s navigation menu. Here’s how you can remove that page from your site’s menu:

    1. From the Customizer, select Menu > Primary Menu.
    2. Click the expand dropdown next to Media and select Remove.
    3. Click Publish to save your changes!

    Lastly, you may want to delete the Media page entirely from your site if you don’t need it. You can do so by navigating in your WordPress admin to Pages > All Pages. From there, you will have the opportunity to delete the page or make it a draft.

    Would you please let me know if this is helpful?

    Thanks so much!
    Kristy
