    somehow, the home page has gone missing. it is not in the list of pages, but it is on the site. Where would I find it to edit it in the future?

  • If your Home page is a list of your recent posts, you won’t have a Home page in your Admin area. If you want to amend the generated output, you’ll need to edit your theme’s index.php template file.

    It’s a website not a blog, and it doesn’t have recent posts as part of it. Would I still have to edit the theme’s index.php template file?

    For a non-blog site, I’d suggest creating a static home page.

    thanks – I went to settings>reading and set the page called home as the static page but now, once again, I have two home pages in the navigation. Any suggestions for how I might be able to keep and edit one of those pages and get rid of the other?

    You’ll need to edit the theme’s template files. If you post a link to the site here, perhaps we can give you some advice on what file to edit and what to remove.

    update-

    the wordpress address and blog address were the same in general settings.

    I changed the blog address to tranquilwatersaddictionservices.com/blog/ and that’s the same as the home page

    still two “home” showing up on the navigation

    Try looking in your theme’s header.php file for:

    <li<?php if(is_home() || is_front_page() ) echo ' class="current_page_item"';?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>">Home</a></li>

    That’s the line that you need to delete.

    I’m not seeing that. Here’s the source code for header.php:

    Can you drop a copy of the theme’s functions.php file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here? Looks like the menu is generated by the pixopoint_menu()function.

    Sorry – can’t find it in there. ?? I have however located the theme’s author – https://jnedesigns.com/ Perhaps you could contact the author and ask them for assistance?

    I don’t think that’s possible. The author and the person I’m trying to help didn’t part on friendly terms

    would it be something to do with setting this up correctly in General Settings?

    WordPress address (URL)
    Blog address (URL)

    Ah – that kind of problem. All I can suggest for now is that you try searching through the theme’s .php files looking for function pixopoint_menu(). Once you find it, try dropping a copy of the file in the pastebin. I’m about to log off for the night but, if someone doesn’t drop in to lend a hand, I’ll check back tomorrow morning (my time).
