Title: Problems with the menu Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Problems with the menu * Resolved [nadadeda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nadadeda/) * (@nadadeda) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-the-menu-2/) * HI! I’m new to wordpress and have just started up my site. I use a theme called Imbalance and have been doing some editing, but now I’m a bit stuck. I’m not at all an expert in CSS and HTML, It’s kind of trial and error… Anyway, I would like to remove the “Archive” menu completely, since I don’t need it. I don’t want my posts to be shown after date. I also have a problem with the menu “Publications” wich I originally added myself, but it was supposed to be parented under “About”. I have no idea why it ended up there in the menu, so I deleted that page, but it’s still there! Last question 🙂 Is there a way to nename the menu links? Like to make “Home” > “Work” or “Categories” > “Filter” for example.

I am a bit familiar with Html and CSS, but I’m not at all an expert… I built my old home page by myself in html and CSS (www.gravityandgrace. se) I understand I have to go in to the php pages, but I’m unfortunately not sure where to look or what to delete. If you could give me any guidence, that would be great! * Many thanks! * [ixwa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ixwa/) * (@ixwa) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-the-menu-2/#post-2122440) * This might be it: * Go to the dashboard and look under Appearance > Widgets * On the right is a list of widgets that currently load; look like you can drag widgets in and out of here. Not sure if this helps. * Thread Starter [nadadeda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nadadeda/) * (@nadadeda) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-the-menu-2/#post-2122449) * I have no active widgets. Do you mean that I could add a widget in order to change the top menu? I managed do delete the links to my social media (Facebook, RSS, Twitter) in the top menu, so I think I should be able to manage to edit the top menu. But there’s more to it, so if you have a slightest idea how… I would be happy to hear it 🙂 * Thanks! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-the-menu-2/#post-2122466) * Try looking in your theme’s header.php template file. * Thread Starter [nadadeda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nadadeda/) * (@nadadeda) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-the-menu-2/#post-2122471) * OK, so this code is what i found regarding the menu… * To remove Archive, Search and Publications, what should I delete/change? * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome).
