Aurora Template – Adding Home Link

Hi

If you are using WP 2.7 or 2.7.1, you can replace wp_list_pages with wp_page_menu which contains an option to display the home page

1) open your heme’s sidebar.php file

2) find wp_list_pages()
it will look something like this
wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=')
What is between the parentheses will be different.

3) “Copy” the content between the parentheses – ignore the opening and closing quote. In the example above, you would copy
sort_column=menu_order&title_li=

4) Replace the entire wp_list_pages with this:
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1&'); ?>

5) Now add the content from wp_list_pages into wp_page_menu – fter show_home=1& and before the closing apostrophe paste what you copied in step 3. save the file.

That should add the Home option to your pages menu.

I tried it out, nothing is showing.

This:
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’ ); ?>

Replaced with:
<?php wp_page_menu(‘show_home=1&title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’); ?>

Was that correct?

That is correct and should work

another way to do it is:

<li><h2>Pages</h2>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="/">Home</li>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=' ); ?>
  </ul>
</li>
