Support » Fixing WordPress » Glider theme menu – delete "blog" title?

  • First of: I searched for DAYS in the forum to find the answer on this one without success.
    Either its my english or that I have no clue about coding and probably got into the wrong documents.

    At my webpage defined.parsoderlund.com you can see the name “blog” at the bottom. It´s the Glider theme and the front page is not static, it’s operated from Appearance>Glider theme options>Homepage.

    Here’s the deal – I´m not gonna run a blog at the moment and want the name to disappear from the menu (although, I want to be able to put it back for the future).

    Is there anyway to do this easily? I guess there is a thread about this so if anyone could help me find it or just do a 1,2,3 step for me here I will give you the best christmas present in the world: a smile with a HUGE amount of gratitude!!!

    And oh, one more thing thats not that important at the moment: is it possible to create a new master template file directly in wordpress or do I need to get into my FTP-folders (it’s for the adding of the contact form under booking – the attributes doesn’t show)

    Thanks in advance and any help is more than welcome!

  • You should be able to accomplish this using a custom menu.

    Thanks for your answer Josh!

    The menu is opperated from the “glider theme option” wich has nothing to do with the orignial way of menus like the link you sent :-/

    It’s an “Elegant Theme” template if that helps and I can choose wich pages that should be shown. The “blog” is not in there though…

    I took a screenshot from that menu and put it at the webpage here.

    It drives me nuts haha!

    Okay.

    1. Click appearance -> menus
    2. Create a new custom menu (Name it whatever helps you identify it)
    3. Drag either a page/post/category over to the new menu area.
    4. You can arrange each item however you like.

    Please let me know how this works for you.

    That would be the same as the link you sent or am I totally wrong?

    I have tried what you have suggested (except dragging cause it’s not available) many times before – therefor I found out nothing happens with the menus when working from that place.

    I missed one step. On the custom menu screen, is a little box in the top left corner. You should add your new menu to the “Header Menu” theme location.

    I’m not familiar with your theme… but I think this is a basic wordpress feature. It should behave the same regardless of your theme.

    Working?

    If it’s the Theme Loacations you are talking about it’s changed.

    I guess you don’t have the menu I’m talking about. Perhaps it only shows for my specific theme. Did you see the picture I uploaded on my blog about the menu I’m talking about?

    Perhaps another approach to it? Coding? Brrrrrrr….

    Here is your Christmas present :

    1. Go to Themes
    2. Go to Editor
    3. Make sure you “Select theme to edit: Glider” (top right)
    4. Under ‘Template’ select Header (header.php)
    5. Scroll down until you see :

    <div id="menu">
     <ul id="main-menu">

    6. Scroll down a bit more until you see :

    <li><a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_category_link(get_cat_ID(get_option('glider_blog_cat')))); ?>" class="external"><?php esc_html_e('Blog','Glider'); ?></a></li>

    7. Remove that line.
    8. Click ‘Update File’
    9. Refresh your blog.
    10. Say ‘Thank you Amontre’ 🙂
