Change Home Text

Question

I'm pretty sure this can be done with a filter or some kind of find and replace...but I'm not sure how I would to do it...

I have a page called Home like so:

When the link is displayed in my template it says "Home"...I'd like it to say "About Us".

I want the user to know which page the homepage is in the Page Overview panel, but I'd like to be able to name it whatever I'd like in my template without displaying the word "Home". Any ideas?

Thanks, Josh

Answer 1

What I did was really simple...In the admin panel I left the name as home, then I used conditional statements to change the name.

For the navigation I used:

<ul>
    <li <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>">About Us</a></li>
    <?php $args = array("exclude" => "".page_name('Homepage').", "title_li"  => ""); wp_list_pages( $args ); ?>
</ul>

For the title I used:

<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>
    <h2>About Us</h2>
<?php } else { ?>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>

I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but this is how I was able to solve it!! Hope this helps someone :)
