    I tried that plugin and it didnt work properly. Using the standard WP setup.

    I use it and it works fine…if you are using a “standard WP setup”, what do you need that it’s not doing?

    Here is the breakdown of what is happening for my wife’s site AvenueBaby.com. For clarification I am trying to create a static page to be shown on the homepage but not in the navigation.

    Current Top Navigation:
    Home, About, Baby Gifts, Best Sellers ,Checkout,Customer Service,Mommy Blog, New Arrivals

    Current main page content are 2 “blog posts”

    Changes —–

    Create a new page “Welcome to AvenueBaby.com” > deselect “Include this page in user menus” option > publish.

    Go to settings > reading > select static page > front page > “Welcome to AvenueBaby.com” > save changes

    Homepage Navigation is now:
    Welcome to AvenueBaby.com, About, Baby Gifts, Best Sellers ,Checkout,Customer Service,Mommy Blog, New Arrivals

    It has replaced home…

    Create a new page “Welcome to AvenueBaby.com”

    Then try renaming that page and calling it “Home”

    That “works” but then the page header shows as “home” on the frontpage – can add what I want to the body but how do I make the header not show up?

    Yea, I just thought about that after I pressed “post” 🙂

    It would probably be easier to just hard-code the home link in your nav bar…probably in header.php. Are you using a GPL theme I can download form somewhere?

    If you are using the WP_eCommerce_City theme as the page source is pointing to …

    I would look at (or close to) line 220 in your functions.php file. Change the value of:

    $showHomeMenuItem = true;

    to:

    $showHomeMenuItem = false;

    This will make the “Home” link in the menu go away … if you update the theme, you will likely need to re-edit the functions.php file.

    Hope that helps some with this issue.
