   I have looked EVERYWHERE to find this line of code. I found it using Firebug but can't find the file I need to edit to change it. It is maddening. Can someone help me out? It is highlighted in blue. "http://www.fundametals.net/images/screenshot.jpg"

   That line of html code is most likely being rendered by the PHP code in the navigation portion of your header.php file. It usually looks something like this:

   <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>

   Hi Michelle,

   So you want to update the home navigation?
   If so, the navigation is usually created in the menu's area,
   you will need to login to your WordPress backend,
   and go to Appearance > Menus.

   Would it be under my theme?
   Thnx!

   Yes, it would be in the header.php file for your theme. Either go to 'Appearance', 'Editor' and click on header.php, or go to your theme's folder via FTP ( wp-content/themes/your-theme/header.php )

   Hi mahlerosa,

   The HTML you are seeing is generated by WordPress, so there's not really "HTML code to change." If your theme supports custom menus, you can create a custom menu and use that instead of the default navigation menu. Look for Custom Menus under Appearance > Menus.

   If your theme does not support custom menus, you could use a plugin like Exclude Pages or a plugin that adds the custom menu functionality like WordPress Navigation List or Multi-level Navigation Plugin

   Hope this helps!

   When I go to Appearance, Editor my header is not even listed to choose from.
   When I go to the actual file wp-content/themes/your-theme/header.php....no word "Home".
   When I do to Appearance, Menu...no Home to choose from.
   It shouldn't have to be so hard.

    I have a custom theme.

    You'll have to contact the author of your custom theme and ask how to make this change, then. There are a few different ways of coding things - without knowing how he/she did it, I don't know where to tell you to go to look for it.

    are you simply trying to change the nav label of your home page so it says something other than home?

    I think you have to use a static page as your posts page, then you can name it whatever you like. But if you still get a rouge "home" tab as well,(which has happened to me) you probably have to use a custom menu.

    Hi mahlerosa,

    It's much easier to simply use a custom menu for your navigation. Have you checked under Appearance > Menus to see if your theme supports custom menus?

    Thanks!
