How to Change the ‘Home’ Link Wording

icon1 Posted by Rochelle in How To... on 02 10th, 2008 | 3 responses

You can easily change the wording of the ‘Home’ link under ‘Store Navigation’ to something else. I like to have the wording of ‘Home’ change to ‘Return to Main Page’ when I’m not on the Home page. It’s a small change but makes a site look more professional.

 

My instructions to change the ‘Home’ link wording:

start
  Open the FrontControl.php for your site (click here if you don’t know how to do this).
  
 Save a copy of the original code (click here for instructions on how to do this).
  
 Search for the $f .= “<li><strong><a href=’”.URL_PATH.”‘>Home</a></strong></li>”; tag.
  
 Change the word Home in the above tag to the wording of your choice. I like, “Return to Main Page.”
  
 Save changes and view site for errors.
done

Here is what this change looks like in my My Little Pony store:
