 * I have removed the menu options from the front page via appearances-menus-edit
   menus, however the menu is still being displayed on the side.
 * How can I force WordPress to update my site to remove the menus.

 * Hii [@clarcombe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clarcombe/),
 * Thats display on your theme primary menu. if u remove so display by default pages
   like menu.
 * so go on header file and make a code like this.
 *     ```
       <?php
        if(!is_home()){
             wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu', 'menu_id' => 'primary-menu' ) );
        }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * or u can add this code on function.php
 *     ```
       <?php
       function remove_from_home( $args ){
               if(!is_home()){
                   return $args;
               }
       }
       add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'remove_from_home', 40 );
       ?>
       ```

 * Ravi,
 * Thanks for that. I was hoping to be able to do this without altering the code
   and just by using the WordPress options from WordPress home.
 * How would I alter the code if I had to do this. Do I physically have to go to
   the server and remove the offending lines from the HTML page ?
