 * Dear all,
 * For my site [http://www.kavel10.nl](http://www.kavel10.nl) I want to have a clean
   homepage, without a menu on it. I researched the forum and saw that the most 
   straightforward option to do this was to insert the following code into the header.
   php file of my theme (I use Advantage).
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !is_front_page() ): ?>
   
       <nav id="access" role="navigation">
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header_nav', 'container_id' => 'header-nav', 'container_class' => 'nav', 'fallback_cb' => 'minimatica_nav_menu' ) ); ?>
       </nav><!-- #access -->
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * From this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-header-menu-from-home-page-only-1?replies=7](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-header-menu-from-home-page-only-1?replies=7)
 * However, when I paste this behind the rest of the code that’s already there, 
   my site displays a syntax error, it says ‘on line 39’. I don’t know why this 
   happens, or how to solve this. It shouldn’t matter if I place it at the end of
   the code, should it? Any leads?
 * Thank you very much!
 * Sophie
