1. Oh, okay.

2. I wonder if that’s somehow the problem, I have a widget plug-in called “Display Widgets” that gives one the option of which pages to either display, or not display a widget in the sidebar, through checkboxes. I think this is exactly what you’re referencing. I’ll try to disable it and see if that works.

3. I haven’t tried different SEO plugins, I may just do that. Your theme seems to hold the page titles from the SEO plugin, so perhaps I can just load another theme that works with it, make the changes, then re-load your theme, as a workaround instead of getting too deep in the weeds on this.

Thanks for the response.

I’m guessing twenty eleven had a custom link with the label home.
Please add one you the main menu and then save the menu

I think I did that, just in a round-about way? I couldn’t find how to add just a custom page like that.

Thanks.

None of that worked, here’s what worked, using a combination of the suggestions:

I think 2011 was taking my “Pages” and making them into menu items – I never used the Appearance > Menus option with that theme (I initially at some point did, there were menu items that I wasn’t using from an earlier excursion), because under “Page Attributes” on each Page editor, I would enter a number for what order I wanted it to appear in the menu and that worked. Not relevant but background.

Here goes:

1. I activated the 2011 theme.

2. I went to Appearance > Menus and deleted the menu that was there, so there was no menu. After “saving” the deletion, the page was blank for a few moments, then all my Pages automatically re-appeared along with a “Home” page shown as “Custom”. The link to this custom-Home page was to my main web site, that’s what I wanted. “Save” this.

3. I activated Weavr and went to my site to see what happened. Now, the “Home” page link does not appear on the site itself.

4. I went to Appearance > Menus (still in Weavr, now) and the Menu items from 2011 were there – including the “Home” – Custom page that I needed.

5. I ticked “Primary Menu” to active, saved the whole thing, and now it works.

6. I now have to re-do each page, because they all defaulted to the template with the (Right) sidebar and some of the widgets are missing, but that’s easy.

It’s working.

Thanks all for the brainstorming. You think these computer things would get easier, eh?

Hi. Not working. I’ve included a link to some screenshots, and as you can see I changed the theme back to Twenty-Eleven. On the far left of the menu there is a “Home” button, in 2011 theme.

Then, I changed it to Weavr (screenshot) and there is no “Home” button.

Then, when I try to follow your instructions, you can see from the screen shot “Home” does not appear as a “Page” option anywhere, see the screenshots of that.

I suspect TwentyEleven created the “home” page/link but it isn’t a “Page” per se in the menus? Something native to 2011 that’s not being carried over? I note that “Home” does not appear as a Page option in 2011 either. Hmmmm

Thanks.

I tried Bikram once. Once. It almost gave me a heart attack.

Thanks for the info and the kudos on the site, I just migrated it over and am feeling out the differences in what I can and can’t do.

Thanks WP yogi (my site is a yoga site FYI ??

the .COM site gave me an automated message that I have to post it here not there. Not sure if it’s going to ignore my post or allow it to be seen by someone.

Thanks for the 411 on the staff thing, I didn’t know that, new to the .org thing.
