 * Woohoo! Thank you mlddev, I followed your instructions and was able to solve 
   the problem. I must admit that I didn’t create a child theme, LittleBigThing 
   as I don’t plan on making many more changes like this. If I do I promise to do
   it 🙂
 * Thank you all for your help and patience, great to know people like you are out
   there helping people like me 🙂

 * Hi, thank you for your help so far.
 * I followed the instructions as per the link, created a child folder, created 
   a style.css file (this contained the text it says on the link that has to be 
   included in the grey box, I also copied the entire style.css file from my current
   theme and then added the text you provided me with at the very end). When I do
   this though the website looks nothing like it currently does.
 * When I try to use mlddev advice, ie paste the text he provided me with at the
   very end of the page.php template file nothing changes.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * [@ngadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngadow/) I tried what you said 
   but I still can’t get rid of the word Home

 * It won’t let me repost the coding but I basically replaced
 * <h1 class=”page-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
 * with what you posted above.
 * Maybe I should give the child theme a go but I still wouldn’t know what I have
   to edit to get rid of Home.

 * Hi, thanks for both your answers and sorry for being a bit slow to understand
   this.
 * I tried to as you suggested mlddev but it didn’t seem to work. My coding now 
   looks like this:
 * Did I do something wrong? Home is still being displayed on the static homepage.

 * Hello, thanks for your quick response.
 * I don’t have posts as I have set the blog up as a website, but when I edit a 
   page and click view page all the text is viewable but the layout/formatting seems
   slightly strange, as in there doesn’t seem to be a real theme.
 * The theme is Twenty Fourteen. Do you think I should try changing it? I wanted
   to change it to classic as I read somewhere that this might help but couldn’t
   find it.
 * Thanks again for your help.
