Duplicate Home Page

    Hi,

    A duplicated home page has mysteriously appeared at:
    http://chineseherbalbath.com.au.

    I have inherited this website in an attempt to help promote my boss’s new business. He had the website built by a “designer” who charges too much for any changes. I thought I was on top of it until… 2 x home pages appeared!!!

    The only thing I was doing at the time is editing a child page to a parent page on the nav menu (health topics), which I’m assuming may have originally been a blog page?!

    I’ve read lotsa forums and I’ve tried customising the menu but it doesn’t affect the double home pages. In fact adding a new menu hasn’t affected anything!

    I’ve also made sure the setting->reading page’s radio button is selected to static home page but nothing changes.

    If it is a hard code somewhere I’ve checked for a header.php but can’t locate this anywhere under templates or styles in settings? If it is a code issue, please type clearly, I’m clueless!

    Any other suggestions?

    Most of the themes I’ve seen will by default assign the “home” link in the upper menu to the page you’ve set as static front page, irrelevant of the title.

    So apart from the page you have set as static homepage, you have another page in WordPress with the title WordPress. Check the pages and let us know.

    Thanks @wpprohelp
    Under the “Pages” list, it says there are 17 published pages and 2 draft pages.
    If you count the double home page that makse 18 published pages but it is not accounted for in the pages list?

    For the top menu in the website, are you using some kind of WordPress menu or are those some theme settings?

    The first “Home” in your Website is generated automatically from the Theme. The others are dynamic configured by you, no? If that is the case, from where did you configure them? using WordPress menus or some theme configuration?

    Check those out and most probably you’ll find out what the problem is.

    Ok, ok I got it!
    For the purpose of recording my situation in case anyone else it in the same conundrum, here’s what triggered the double home page:
    It ended up being a simple checkbox on the “Site Options” under Home Link. I just had to uncheck “show home link in nav menu” and voila, back to my original home page – just the one!
    Perfect and thanks for your support.
    – relieved 🙂
