rename "Home" in Wasteland theme

[ericisrael42]

Can anyone please tell me how accurately to rename the "Home" tab to something else like say "Blog"? Thanks so much.

Go into Admin >> Appearances >> Editor >> menu.php and replace everything in that file with this:

  Code:

<div class="menu">
         <ul>
            <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
            <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>                       
        </ul>               
</div>

Then change the word "Home" (the one just before the </a> tag) in the first line with whatever you want it to say.

thank you for that but when I do that I loose all functionality of the drop down menu I have installed. Is there another way to do it without loosing the drop down?

You never said you were using a plugin or provide a link to your site so I wasn't aware...details count for much.

You'll need to provide some details so I can assess the situation. Are you using a plugin? How is it implemented into the theme?

Wow, the speed of your replies in and of itself is very refreshing to see. Thank you. Sorry I didn't provide evidence:) I use the "Pixo Point" plug in regular version. Here is the site in question with the plugin acitvated: http://blog.laderaranchlife.com. I want to rename the "Search Ladera" to "Home" and rename "Home" to "Blog". Can you offer assistance for this excellent Theme on how to do it? Thanks.

Since you don't say, I'll assume you added the plugins code to the menu.php file.

As far as I can tell the plugin gives you the option to rename links from it's option page. Under 'Menu Contents' if you click the little arrow it gives you options for each link...one of those options is to rename the link.

No, I added on the plug in and activated it. I access the only folder I can find in the dashboard of my blog under the settings tab which I have included a snap shot for you. I did not put it in the menu.php file. What to do?

[Mina]

Then I don't really know, sorry. I don't know much about plugins and it seems that in this case the plugin is taking over the menu so it's beyond me. I would check with the author to see if he has any ideas.

[ericisrael42]

Ok, thanks for the effort. Do you know of a drop down plug in compatable with your theme that would give me the result I am looking for?

Your reply yesterday: "As far as I can tell the plugin gives you the option to rename links from it's option page. Under 'Menu Contents' if you click the little arrow it gives you options for each link...one of those options is to rename the link", was the correct answer. I was just too dumb to find it until this morning. THANKS!
