so I am calling my page list with the
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
function, which is populating an unordered list that has a "home" entry in my nav bar.
I want to change the name of this "home" button to "blog", but am not sure how to do this within the context of the wp_page_menu arguments. I want to keep it pretty clean, so was hoping to find something that didn't involve me manually linking a first item in that unordered list. Any thoughts?
Your choices would seem to be:
1. manually linking a first item in that unordered list
2. changing the program that has that function (wp-includes/post-template.php)
3. put this in your theme's function.php file:
function change_home($menu_text) {
return preg_replace('/>Home</', '>Blog<', $menu_text, 1);
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu','change_home');

Those choices don't look very fun! ;)
Try this out:
<?php wp_page_menu( array( 'show_home' => 'Blog', 'sort_column' => 'menu_order' ) ); ?>Cool. Didn't know you could do that with wp_page_menu. Codex updated: http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Template_Tags%2Fwp_page_menu&diff=69816&oldid=69679

Also, if you need to filter it from a plugin or child theme, use this:
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'my_page_menu_args' );
function my_page_menu_args( $args ) {
$args = array(
'show_home' => 'Blog'
);
return $args;
}

Eeeek! Wow, complicated! Any idea how to do the same thing for the Arras theme? My website is http://www.dykulture.com - I just can't seem to find the right bit of code in the header.php file.
Many thanks.

What file do I put this in?<?php wp_page_menu( array( 'show_home' => 'Blog', 'sort_column' => 'menu_order' ) ); ?>
Do I replace code or just insert this somewhere?

You can also try deleting this line of code:
if ( !is_front_page() ) { ?><li class="page_item_home home-link"><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars(get_bloginfo('name'), 1) ?>" rel="home"><?php _e('home', 'plaintxtblog') ?></a></li><?php }
From your theme's functions.php file. I am using the simplr theme and this worked for me.
This is for if you want to remove the "home" link altogether.
