Rename “Home” Twenty Ten’s Tab

Last updated on February 18, 2017

How to rename, “Home” tab on the top navigation of your WordPress blog if you use Twenty Ten theme.

How to edit the label of “Home” menu with another words, without editing functions.php.

I have posted two videos, how to change your WordPress home page to welcome your visitors with your custom welcome text – no blog posts in the front.

I have also received an email a few days ago from one of my readers that he had a problem to change the text “Home” menu tab to something else because of an error.

This error was caused by editing functions.php incorrectly. Functions.php is known to be a “sensitive” theme file in WordPress. If you are curious how to do this with functions.php, see this WordPress thread.

We can actually fix it in our cPanel or web server, but for WordPress beginner fellows, this case is scary, and can make them panic.

So today, we will  rename home wording in Twenty Ten home menu tab on the top navigation bar.

This tutorial will not use functions.php file, but directly in Custom Menu option which is available in WordPress 3.0.1 or 3+.

Here are the steps

This tutorial works with WordPress 4.7

1. In dashboard page, go to Appearance → Menus.

Appearance → Menus

  • Is my site loading fast? I use this shared hosting
  • Try my theme >

2. Create a custom menu by typing a menu name in “Menu Name” input box. In this tutorial I use “My menu tab”. Click “Save Menu” button. (see image)

Creating a new menu in WordPress
Creating a new menu

Type in Menu Name → Create Menu.

3. Next, in the left sidebar, there is “Pages” Menu option, very important: click “View All” tab.

Add Pages to WordPress Menu
View All – Home and other pages

Here, you should see the “Home” page is listed.

Add some or all pages that you want to display on your site, by ticking the pages name or hit “Select All” button, and click “Add to Menu” button.

Pages → View All → Select/Select All → Add to Menu.

4. You should see the lists of your pages under your newly custom menu, which is called, “My menu tab”. Arrange the page order as you like, see myWordPress 3 drop down menu and WordPress change home page posts for reference to create a drop down menu and a welcome static page.

The list of the pages (step 3) should be displayed under your custom menu.

5. Next, focus on “Home” tab, click the down arrow in the corner (see image below) and edit:

Rename Home with Navigation Label
Navigation Label to change “Home”

Navigation Label: The wording you want to have, in this tutorial, I use: www.blog.web6.org.
Title Attribute: Any text you like, but usually short description, I use: Free WordPress tutorial. This word will show when visitors hover the tab.

When you’re ready, click “Save Menu”.

Change: Navigation Label and Title Attribute.

5. Last step: the first list under Custom menu title, there is “Theme Locations” choose our new custom menu (My menu tab) in pull down menu as the primary navigation. Click “Save”.

In newer version, you can assign the menu location directly under your “Menu Settings”

Primary Navigation → drop down → choose your custom menu, Save.

Refresh your blog, you should see the change of your menu bar.

    I received an error,
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING (on line 215)
    When I changed my custom word back to “true”, the error still didn’t go away.

      Hey S,

      What theme are you using?

      You can upload fresh functions.php file, or fix the error, i guess you put back to true incorrect.

      I already put a link in the post, that i have posted a tut where we don’t have to edit functions.php, more easy here: https://www.wpvidz.com/edit-index-label-menu-wordpress-3/

      Link to your site may help too. Let me know how it goes.

    I’m using the twenty ten theme. Even though I put in the fresh functions.php file, I’m still getting the error. Bizarre.

      October 22, 2010 at 10:44 pm

      site link? Without site link, none can help :/

  6. S says

    October 22, 2010 at 10:57 pm

    Ah, finally got it to work! I put in the fresh functions.php again, then tried the tut once more, and it worked. Hm. Not sure what happened the first time around. Thank you!

    • Kimi says

      October 22, 2010 at 11:00 pm

      Awesome!

      Glad it is fixed, editing functions.php can cause an error, small incorrect character can cause it as well.

      Happy you got it fixed, you’re most welcome!

    Hi…I am getting the following error. I have tried reverting back to a copy but still get the error?

    Any ideas

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in twentyten/functions.php on line 232

    • Kimi says

      November 18, 2010 at 5:35 pm

      Chub, i have noted with red font, that if you are not familiar with functions.php, you should visit another post which is: https://www.wpvidz.com/edit-index-label-menu-wordpress-3/

      That tutorial will have the same result without changing functions.php file.

      If you have functions.php error, it should be fixed with uploading the fresh functions.php file.

      Try it again, and if still has an error, i can help you by uploading it to your cPanel.

      Let me know if it helps.

    Hi Kimi…yep saw that AFTER I tried to do it the harder way…Hey Im a man we dont read things properly 🙂

    Where do I get a “fresh” functions.php ?

    Cheers

    Chub

      November 18, 2010 at 5:45 pm

      LOL. Download wordpress.zip file from wordpress.org, , extract it, look for wp-content/themes/twentyten.

      But i have just checked your site again, it not in functions.php of twentyten, but in wp-include. I wonder what you did with your wp-includes? 😀

      Try to upload twenty ten theme (the fresh one) – and rename the old one, like, twentyten_older, which i doubt it will work, since the error is now in wp-includes folder.

      If you need any help, i am here Chub.

    Hi Kimi,
    really nice and easy explanation – I finally renamed my Home page name from “Home” into “Naslovna” as I write a blog on serbian language and it really makes me ughhhh every time I see it like “Home”.

    Thanks so much,
    Alek
