Ghost “Home” Link

    I have recently created a new website using WordPress and the theme Brownline. When starting a new website, I understand that there is a default blog page. I attempted to remove that page, but it does not appear in the Edit Page section. Because of this I am unable to even edit the page to change the name from “Home” to something else, which I would be willing to do. I would rather simply delete the link completely and start over.

    When clicking the ghost “Home” link, it does not go anywhere.

    Please advise as to how I should rectify this situation.

  • I ended up having to use my “about” page as my home page. I named another page “home” and in Settings – Reading I set my about page to be the static page with the blog page for posts. Then I used the exclude pages plug in to exclude the 2nd page. It’s weird but when you click on home it goes to the about and it all seems to work out.

    Is the ghost link still present, though?

    try to open your theme’s header.php or maybe index.php and try to find the code:

    <ul>
    <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="Home">Home</a></li>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    the code may or may not be exactly like the one above but it’s sure does have a list in it, if you can see the code above has the word Home there, you can change that to any name you want.
