Currently using the Mantra theme for my page, which comes with a default "Home" tab on the navigation panel. I've tried, by trial and error, removing pieces of header.php to remove this default tab but haven't been able to. Am I doing something wrong?
Reason I'm trying to remove it is so I can have a static home page (which is why I have to get rid of the default one). Below's a link to the header.php info. Thanks for your help!
Please provide a link to your site.

So what page do you want to set as the home page?
I think that you need to create that page and then go to settings > reading select that page to be your home page.
Either that, or go to appearance > menus and set the menu however you like.

When I try removing that tab in Appearance > Menu, it removes the drop-down capability of the other tabs (Investment Education, for example). That's something I really like about this theme.
I plan on creating a separate "Home" page to set as my home page, which is why I need to delete this default one which I'm unable to make static.

What do you mean? Right now your homage page is set to the blog. Go to page, add a new page call it home. Add your content. Then select that page as your home.

That makes no sense. Removing one tab should not affect the dropdowns.

You're right! Before just "added" a page called home and it's no longer appearing as a duplicate. Idk why it wasn't working before..
One last question..how can I remove this text from appearing below the Comments box:
`<a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b>
<blockquote cite=""> <cite> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>"
Also, how can I get rid of the comments box for the home page? I want to make it look more like a site, and less like a blog. Thanks Christine!
Try adding this at the bottom of your stylesheet.
.form-allowed-tags {display:none;}

If I can jump in. This was great advice for fixing the double "home" page problem, but now new posts seem to go to the default home page (i.e., nowhere, although I am able to find them) rather than the visible home page. How do I change the post routing?

I created a category called "latest news", then created a page called "latest news". The slug in the page is also called latest news
Then from the main menu in wordpress
Settings / Writing / drop down box choose category "latest news".
Everything (ie blog posts) now go to that page instead of the home page
You must log in to post.
