Sub site menu page

    hello, I built a wp site before adding a shopping cart. I created a subdomain for the store. I used the same theme as the original site because I wanted the same look but a sidebar but with different widgets for the store.

    I added the eshop plugin to the subdomain. The store/subdomain menu has a home button. Inside my wp dashboard where the pages are listed the home page is not there to edit. I need to add a link-to-page to the home page on the shopping site back to the main home page on my original site.

    I hope I made sense and would really appreciate some help.
    thanks, Laurel

    [Moved to Themes as this is not a plugin issue]

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the eShop plugin. Assuming that your site’s front page shows a list of your most recent posts, it is not created in the same way as the other static Pages on your site. It is actually an archive page (which, in WordPress-speak, is a list of posts)and is generated “on demand”. So you cannot just go in and “edit” the page in the same the way that you can edit any of the other static Pages that you’ve created.

    If you want to add some text to the page, you have three basic options:

    – Edit your theme’s index.php template file and add your text — complete with HTML markup — to the template file before or after The Loop.
    – Create a widget-aware area in your theme’s index.php template file, then use a Text widget to add your new content.
    – Configure your site to use a static front page.

    thanks for the fast response. not a big coder here… scared of php 🙂

    Is there anyway I can simply remove the ‘home’ from the menu? then I could add a page called home and redirect it.

    You could try creating a custom menu and use the Custom Url option for your main Home page’s entry.
