How to change the home page title text in navigation menu? - wordpress

Question

I have created a wordpress site. The home page appears in the navigation menu with the name of "Home".
I want to change this text to some other text so that in the navigation menu, it did not appear as a "Home", instead it should appear as some other text.
How will I change this text?

Answer 1

So, in order to Change the name of Home button go to:
wp-includes/post-template.php
Look for:
// Show Home in the menu
if ( isset($args['show_home']) && ! empty($args['show_home']) ) {
if ( true === $args['show_home'] || '1' === $args['show_home'] || 1 === $args['show_home'] )
$text = __('Home');
Do you see last "Home" text ? There you go, change it to whatever you want.

Answer 2

If we are talking about the default theme "Twenty Twelve":
Open ../twentytwelve/functions.php
Find twentytwelve_page_menu_args function.
Replace
$args['show_home'] = true;
with
$args['show_home'] = "Your name";
Hoooray!!! :)

Answer 4

It depends on each theme you would like to use.
For Twenty Twelve what you have to do is to set a front end page (static page) and give it a name.
then you copy functions.php to your child theme's folder and then find this:
/**
* Makes our wp_nav_menu() fallback -- wp_page_menu() -- show a home link.
*
* #since Twenty Twelve 1.0
*/
function twentytwelve_page_menu_args( $args ) {
if ( ! isset( $args['show_home'] ) )
$args['show_home'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentytwelve_page_menu_args' );
and change this single line:
$args['show_home'] = false;
Alternatively,
a simple solution is to go to Menus tab on the left and play with the menu options there, you can add your own if you like.

Several years later since asking this question you can do this from the admin panel. There's a good explanation on this website. Basically you need to go to:
http://yourDomain/wp-admin > Appearance > Menus. Then, under the Menu structure you will find Home - click and change the title to whatever you want. I hope this helps someone ))
