Hi,

I am extremely knew to codex/web building and have no CSS or html experience, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently switched my website to a static home page (aretehoops.com) and have tried to add custom css coding found in other posts on this forum to remove the original home page tab with no success.

I have copied these codes into my custom css tab under Graphene Options with no success. Am I forgetting to format these in a special way?

.home #post-2589 {display:none;}

.post-205 .post-title, .post-title a {

display: none;

}

.home .page-title {

display: none;

}

Add this to Custom CSS.
```
.home .type-page {

display: none;

}
```

Are you sure you selected your home page as the front page because on my site it’s working fine.

You could also make a menu using the options under Appearance -> Menus and select the pages you want.

It shows up fine here. Did you clear your browser cache?

Or, do you want to remove Home from menu?

Yes, when I switched to the static front page option, I want to delete the “home” tab that originally came with the Graphene theme so that I can then create a new home page and select that as my static front page (as ChainKiller was suggesting).

I also just re-checked my settings — reading option and the “static page” is set to choose the “home” page that I created myself (because obviously the “home” tab that originally comes with the theme doesn’t show up under pages).

I also cleared my cache and made sure I had selected the “home” page I created as my static front page.

Do I need to edit a template file to get rid of the automatic “home” tab that comes with the theme?

Just create a custom menu from the menus page in your dashboard. You can select any page you want.

I figured it out, I accidentally had duplicates of the “home” page on my custom menu. Thanks for the help.
