For everyone else who is encountering this problem: You’ve probably set the same page twice under: Settings > Reading > Startpage > Static page.

Just set it as the home page and leave the second field unselected (or choose your blog page).

P.S.: Your menu labels may have a slightly different name, since I use a localized version and translated the labels to English for this post.

“Will an export preserve the full set of data entered.”

You can test this easily, if you export the mysql-database and replace the domain in the .sql-file with your localhost (or whatever you’re using), download all installation-files with ftp, change the config-file and then run everything on your localhost (e. g. with xampp).
