Thanks to Marla for pointing this out. You can easily change the “Home” button on the Azul/Baughxie themes to anything you want by simply modifying this bit of code in the “header.php” file:
<div id="navbar">
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1'); ?>
</div>
All we need to do is modify the menu tag something like this if you want the “Home” button to say “Blog” instead:
<div id="navbar">
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=Blog'); ?>
</div>
Thats it!
The text that follows is the original post and should be ignored:
I’ve had a few people ask how to modify the navigation bar on the Azul and Baughxie themes. More specifically, how to change the “Home” button into something else. Let me start by explaining what’s already there.
Starting in WordPress 2.7 there is a nice clean bit of code that will display the Pages on your blog and a “Home” button all with just one tag: wp_page_menu
The code I used looks like this:
<div id="navbar">
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1'); ?>
</div>
The above is clean and to the point, the only problem is that if you want to change the home button from “Home” to something else like “News” or “Blog” then, in short, you can’t.
What we CAN do is rebuild the navigation bar with the following code:
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li <?php if(is_home()){echo 'class="current_page_item"';}?>><a href="<?php get_bloginfo('url'); ?>">Blog</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=0'); ?>
</ul>
</div>
It’s a little more complex, but this will let you name the home button to anything you want. In the example above the home button was named “Blog”.
