    Hello there,

    I have a basic question. I just want to change the default name of “home” page and into “blog” or something.

    I found few solutions for it as below;
    in your child theme’s functions.php, add some code;

    Solution 1

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentyeleven_child_theme_setup' );
function twentyeleven_child_theme_setup() {
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyelevenchild_page_menu_args' );
}
function twentyelevenchild_page_menu_args( $args ) {
	$args['show_home'] = 'Welcome!'; // rename 'home' button
	return $args;

    }

    Solution 2
    If we are talking about the default theme “Twenty Twelve”:

    Open ../twentytwelve/functions.php
    Find twentytwelve_page_menu_args function.

    Replace

    $args['show_home'] = true;

    with

    $args['show_home'] = "Your name";

    But, I want to make this change without touching the core files. I just want to use child-theme option to do it. So how can I edit functions.php using child-theme option since it is impossible to copy it into child-theme folder?

    Thanks

    Finally It worked out. For those who has the same question, here is how to do it;

    -First copy original functions.php file into your child-theme folder (via ftp)
    -Delete all the content of the newly copied functions.php
    -Enter this code inside the empty functions.php

    <?php
/** Tell WordPress to run post_theme_setup()
 * when the 'after_setup_theme' hook is run.
 */

 add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'post_theme_setup');

 if ( !function_exists('post_theme_setup' )):
 function post_theme_setup() {

 }
 endif;

    AND

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentyeleven_child_theme_setup' );
function twentyeleven_child_theme_setup() {
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyelevenchild_page_menu_args' );
}
function twentyelevenchild_page_menu_args( $args ) {
	$args['show_home'] = <strong>'Welcome!'</strong>; // rename 'home' button
	return $args;
}

    – Type the name that you want to use where it says ‘Welcome!’ for your (old) home page.
