WordPress Tutorial – How to Make a Static Page Your Home Page & Hide Double Home Page Link

This beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows how to make a “static” WordPress page your Home page (also called a “front page”), and how to hide the second Home page link that sometimes appears in your site navigation when you make that static page a Home page.

    Thankyou McBuzz.
    Was pulling hair out trying to work out why i had two home pages. As a newbie, i couldn’t understand why my original home page wasn’t showing up under select page as home page pull-down. So i creates a home page – ending up with two. By setting second home page as a child page to Blog page, it vanished. But neither does it appear anywhere on blog page; no links, nothing. Just what i wanted.
    Thanks!

  2. Need to tighten up presentation. Should have taken five minutes or less to show how to create a static page. You also alluded to links and “my theme” but didn’t show how links are related to navigation nor which theme you’re using.

  3. People can see it but they cant see it when there editing

  4. I made a custom theme with Artisteer 2 and the original home page button disappeared on mine.

  5. your tutorials are great, some of it’s simple compared to other webpages I work on, but occasionally it’s something simple that I just don’t know where to look.

    Thank you for the tutorial! Sure helped a great deal.

  7. good tutorial…but the original homepage will not disappear from the page menu ??
    And the new homepage is stuck at the end, how do you get it to the start?

    Thx

  8. Can other people actually see the site that you made or can you only see it???
