Hi geewhiz2. Please post a link to your site so we can see the issue. Thanks.
also appears as a URL link, titled the same in the primary bar
That’s from a child menu (maybe a widget?) in the sidebar.

yes, I’ve checked widgets already. And the menu page too.
Also, I can’t see css style sheet under Child hueman theme editor, was trying to find issue there, although I’m not such a pro at it.
Only this shows:
/*
Theme Name: #1 Hueman
Version: 1.0
Description: A child theme of Hueman
Template: hueman
Author: Gee Sahota
*/
/* Your awesome customization starts here */
Thanks
That’s the default style.css file created when you create the child theme. It won’t have any code in it unless you manually add it there. If you don’t think there’s a problem with your widgets or menu then I’d guess you may have an issue with one of your plugins. The way to determine that is to deactivate them all and see if that fixes the issue. If it does, activate them one at a time until you find the one causing the problem.
Okay, I will test the plug-ins one by one.
As for the CSS style sheet, if I want to see or amend what I see in view source – how do I go about that?
Thanks again
Btw, I deactivated all the plugins – but the problem remains?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I want to see or amend what I see in view source
Are you viewing the source code? Or are you inspecting the page elements using something like Chrome Developer Tools or Firebug?
I deactivated all the plugins – but the problem remains?
Do you have any cache plugins that need to be cleared? Did you clear the browser cache? What happens if you change the page layout to remove the sidebar? Is the link on the right side still visible?
I believe I’m viewing source through Chrome, under View > developer > view source. I’ve just cleared the browsing data.
No change.
If I change the layout and remove sidebar then ‘contact’ link disappears, however, once I put sidebar back, whether left or right side, contact link reappears. I ideally wanted to retain the sidebar…
Thanks
If you right-click on the page and select “Inspect”, this will show you the page elements and the CSS that’s applied to each one. You can change the CSS in “real time” and see how it affects your site, then copy the changes to your child theme style.css file to implement them. Here’s a quick tutorial:

It looks like, on your Contact page, you’re using the Child Menu page template. This automatically builds a child menu in the sidebar. Change the page template to the default and that should fix it.

I will give it a try…thanks for now, I may have to pick your brain again. Fingers crossed I don’t. But thanks for getting me this far 🙂
You’re most welcome; that’s what we’re here for.
Hello again,
Just as I thought, I’m back 😐
Been trying to get to grips with making sense of the language, I’m struggling to see where the fault may be (this is through Chrome Dev tools).
Not sure if I’m heading right, but I recall when there was a minor glitch, 79 briefly flashed up in place of the ‘Contact’ in side bar that I’m trying to remove. Don’t know if that makes sense to you.
79 appears a few times in the lengthy code.
‘Contact’ is not h3 as I thought it might be, either.
What am I looking out for exactly?
I’ve picked out this so you may be able to steer me right – not sure if this helps. At the beginning, before you drop down and see all the other coding:
<body class=”page page-id-79 page-template page-template-page-templates page-template-child-menu page-template-page-templateschild-menu-php logged-in admin-bar col-2cl boxed chrome customize-support s2-collapse s1-expand”>
If you need to see anything else, let me know.
Thanks again
Did you check the page template that the Contact page is using?
page-template-child-menu
This class in the <body> tag indicates that it’s using the “Child Page” template which is what’s causing the menu to appear in the sidebar. Change the template to the Default and that should solve the issue.
Please excuse me, it sounds straightforward, but I literally gave myself a crash course in CSS etc yesterday so getting my head around it.
Under theme > editor > hueman (the original theme) I found host of templates. Found Child menu template – a php. Is this the default page you mean? I can’t see anything to do with default page. I did find a sidebar php which is where the infamous ‘contact’ url sits.
Now, if I was to fix problem – would that mean adding the correct coding from the ‘default’ template to the Child hueman CSS file under the Theme > Editor > Child humean theme…
Sorry for bombarding, I’m really am at the basics stage but really want to resolve this…
Thank you and you’re much appreciated 🙂
