• Hi there

    http://www.thegapmedia.com

    I have an interesting question and hope I am not at the wrong forum to ask it. Could someone please help me sort this out as I am becoming quite frustrated 🙂

    I have set up my Site via WordPress with a Static Front page. I am not using it as a blog as such. It is working perfectly after many weeks of trial and error as this is all totally new to me. At the moment I have a “HOME” tab and a “Welcome” tab on my menu. They both point to my front page which is static. Therefore one of them must go. If I unpublish the “Welcome” page it dissapears from my menu and everything works fine. However this is in Firefox. When I look at my site in IE it tells me there is nothing to display. (Firefox is probably reading from the cache). If I go to my Pages admin area there is no Page for “Home” so am not sure at all what to do to fix this. I want to get rid of “Welcome” on the menu but still see the page when “HOME” is pressed. I am using the Mono Lab Piano Black Template for this site. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks
    gary

  • I would just go in header.php and find

    <ul class="menu">
       <li class="page_item first_menu"><a href="http://www.thegapmedia.com/">HOME</a></li>

    It wont look exactly like that, but something similar. Just delete the Home link and your set.

    <li class="page_item first_menu"><a href="http://www.thegapmedia.com/">HOME</a></li>

    Hi there wpbum

    Thanks for this. Can’t find that portion or one that looks like it though. This is my header.php file. Can you see from this what I need to change?

    [large block of code moderated – please use pastebin.com for future pastes]

    Id try to delete this out of there.

    <?php _e('HOME','piano-black'); ?>

    Also I would edit your last post and remove all that code. Not supposed to paste that much code so I will paste what is needed below here in case that fix doesnt work. Use the Code tag also when pasting code so it will be pretty like mine.

    <ul class="menu">
    <li class="<?php if (!is_paged() && is_home()) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>">/"><?php _e('HOME','piano-black'); ?>
    <?php
    if($options['header_menu_type'] == 'pages') {
    wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=&exclude=' . $options['exclude_pages']);
    } else {
    wp_list_categories('depth=0&title_li=&exclude=' . $options['exclude_category']);
    }
    ?>
    
    <?php }; ?>
    <div id="pngfix-left"></div>
    </div>

    Howdy

    Nope that didn’t work. All it did was remove the word “HOME” fromthe menu. Left the background. So i copied and pasted the original php I sent you (which I will edit in the post) and now it’s messed up the header even more lol. Have a look at it. The RSS icon is meant to be right to the right hand side and the SEARCH option to the left of it (RSS). What do I dooooooo 🙂

    Thanksfor your help

    Copy and paste my last post in there where it should go to see if it fixes it.

    Since the first didnt work I would try the below to see if it gives you what you want.

    <ul class="menu">
    wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=&exclude=' . $options['exclude_pages']);
    <div id="pngfix-left"></div>
    </div>

    Hi there again

    Thanks for your patience and your help. The menu is now correct except for a small black portion just to the left of ‘Welcome’. Any idea how I would get rid of it so that the menu looks correct 🙂 Am still working on the search and rss

    Where is it supposed to go? Cant you reinstall the theme and then make those changes again?

    I can help you move it but Im not sure what all you edited and where exactly it goes.

    If there is a demo of this theme somewhere else it would be helpful.

    Thank you so much for all the help 🙂

    When I woke up this morning one of my first thoughts was to re-install the theme and then mod from there again knowing what I now know – then I saw your post which said the same thing. I did it and BINGO!!!! all is well 🙂

    Thank you again. I have a few other questions like why won’t my reCaptcha work even though it is installed and acivated but will fish around and try and learm by solving it myself before I ask on the forum.

    All the best
