Extra home page I can’t find or delete

look into header.php and see if this ‘home’ is hardcoded into the horizontal navigation. you might find some code similar to this:

<div id="nav">
			<ul>
				<li class="page_item "><a href="<?php ... ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages....

if so, you can delete the hard-coded link:

<li class="page_item "><a href="<?php ... ?>">Home</a></li>

The unwanted Home link has been hardcoded into your current theme. Try editing your theme’s header.php file and deleting:

<li class="page_item "><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>">Home</a></li>

I’ll give it a go and let you knwo what happens, thanks so much ??

It worked! I love you folks! )
Seriously though I am grateful, it was doing my ehad in. Now I can finish the build properly. Thanks so much!

Hey hey,

I’m trying to do the same but can’t find this

<li class=”page_item “>“>Home

anywhere. It’s not in my header.php. and cant find it anywhere in the coding.

I’m using WP 3.0.1

Please help… ??

PEBKAC!

As a plugin author its a real bummer when people say its broken, when its not.
Thisthread accuses ‘extra page’ of being broken, but infact its actually just a piece of the theme template. and its not even a defect or bug over there. its just the link to the dynamic front page

@edjonesorganist – provide a link. or try searching for ‘home’ instead of that big string. your theme might not have the li class labeled as page_item….. or why not see if there is a file called ‘navigation.php’ and look in there too……

..unfounded ‘broken’ votes make me a saad panda..

Hello I have same issue, and have just started to use word press can you please direct me were to find header.php for Home page not I can’t find to delete sorry to be so basic but need to know to fix my issue. Thank you

I found header.php but could not find – <div id=”nav”>

<li class=”page_item “>“>Home
<?php wp_list_pages…. Could someone please advise before I stuff something up.
Thank you

@hazesecurity
try searching for a smaller portion of the string.. Or even including a link for us to look at.

Bottom line is this.. The code that generates the ‘Home’ link is different in every theme. Even its location in the header is not a sure bet.
Try this, open header.php and search for just the word ‘Home’. See if that helps. If not, take a look at the files in your theme directory. Maybe there is a file called nav-bar.php or something similar and header.php references it. Try looking in there (if it exists) and seeing if you can find the word ‘home’?
Hope this helps.

Not that familiar with code have most of header.php code here if you could explain what part of this is to be remove would be much appreciated.

Did I say anything wrong, can anyone assist. Please

it generates that link in a function, then the header calls it as a hook
