Static Front page issue

    Currently I’m looking to have a static front page for Piano Black theme. I’m able to do that, however when I add the static front page it adds another page to the top header bar, so essentially I have to HOME tabs pointing to the same page. I’m pretty sure there is a way to remove the other page from the header bar, by editing header.php but I just haven’t been able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. My page is http://www.seantgreen.com/

    You should be able to rename the page that has the blog to something other than home.

    Did you do this first ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page )?

    Create two WordPress Pages from the “Add New Page” panel.

    1. Title one as “Home” (or another name) as your “static” front page.
    1. Set the “Home” template to the default template or any custom template. Title your template as something other than home.php as this could cause a conflict.
    2. Add content you would like to see within the content area of the “Home” page.
    3. Publish the Page.
    • If you will not be using WordPress’ blogging functionality, you can skip the second page; otherwise, title it “Blog” (or you could call it “News”, “Articles”, etc.). This page will be a place-holder for showing the Posts on your site.
    1. Do not use a custom Page template for this page!
    2. DO NOT add content to the Blog Page. Leave it blank. Any content here will be ignored — only the Title is used.
    3. Publish the Page.

    Yes I did do that, I don’t have the static front page displayed right now because of the header bar issue. But yes these are the instructions I followed and results in the two HOME pages.

    I found a post similar to yours: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-home-page-that-shows-up-twice?replies=5

    So, it’s showing 2 home pages, plus the blog page? or the blog page is still called home?

    If the above doesn’t work, please post here the code from your header.php that creates the menu (doesn’t have to be the whole header.php).
