remove homepage from navigation

My cover page is my homepage.  I don't want it in the navigation menu.  

If I slide the option "enable page" then the cover page is no longer active and can't been seen by the public.  

How do I get the homepage off the navigation menu without deactivating the page?

In the Pages panel click and drag the page from the Main Navigation to Not Linked.

Thank you Creedon, just ran into this issue and this sorted it right out!

hey @creedon, i've been searching for a solution to this issue. i don't want to hide the page, i just don't  want 'home' listed on the nav bar. moving the home page to 'not linked' moves the homepage out of my site's public facing structure. i want the site to remain as is, but just lose the 'home' link  on the navbar. thoughts?

thanks!

Hi @Amaya_SQSP, and thank you.

This makes sense to me, but I'm also confused, because I've done this and it seems to remove the homepage from being visible. I'm running Nueva template, site is https://bulletproof-film.com

Screenshot attached of the site map in Squarespace's backend. Any sense of what I'm doing wrong here?

Ah, I see. So, you're currently using an Index Page. If you move the entire Index Page out of your primary navigation, it will hide all the pages as they are collected under the Index Page. I would suggest moving the page you're using as the homepage out of the Index Page and have it as a standalone homepage so you have more control of where you'd like it to be.

I have another suggestion, since your index page is the home page, may I suggest that you create a landing/cover page. They can be very dramatic and they are included in 7.0 which I see that you are using. You create this page in the unlinked section of your site. There are many great templates to choose from and use text or buttons to link it to the main section of your site. When you have finished building it you make it your homepage which will not appear on the Nav bar. That is what I have done with these two sites, the first one being my own.

thanks @Amaya_SQSP and @derricksrandomviews

i'm hoping for a solution that doesn't change the flow and setup of the site.  the current setup works for me-- i want a single page, parallax scrolling site. moving the homepage out of the index changes that, as does creating a landing page. basically i want the site exactly as it is, minus the 'home' link on the nav bar. there has to be a way to just remove the 'home' link from the nav bar without changing anything else. maybe css? thoughts?

thanks again!

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

/* hide home link */

.Header-nav-item[href="/"], /* desktop */
.Mobile-overlay-nav-item[href="/"] /* mobile */

  {
  
    display : none;
    
    }

This is for v7.0 using the Brine template family.

Let us know how it goes.

@creedon yes!! thank you! that worked perfectly. i appreciate the help.

Thanks Creedon, I am going to make a record of this code, it will be needed again by someone here I am sure of that. 

@creedon Hi! I tired the CSS injection you suggested above but wasn't able to get it to work for me. I am currently on 7.1. Do you have any thoughts on how I might be able to remove the homepage link from the navigation?

It didn't work as it was designed for v7.0 using the Brine template family.

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

.header-nav-item:nth-of-type( 1 ), /* desktop */
.header-menu-nav-item:nth-of-type( 1 ) /* mobile */

  {
  
    display : none;
    
    }
    

This is for v7.1.

The way the navigation is structured we need to hide the element by its position. Most folks have their home page link in position 1. But if yours is different then change the one. Please note that if you move your pages around then you many need to update the position number.

Let us know how it goes.

@creedon I have the same issue. I'm trying to hide the Home link from the navigation on ALL pages. I tried this code in the Custom CSS panel and it didn't work. I'm using the Brine template and the website is https://www.supercubes.com. I'm assuming I entered something wrong?

.Header-nav-item[href="https://www.supercubes.com/home"] {  
    display : none;   
    }
.Mobile-overlay-nav-item[href="https://https://www.supercubes.com/home"] {  
    display : none;   
    }

I used this code to hide Home, but it only worked on the Home page.

//remove HOME from nav
.tweak-header-primary-nav-hover-style-active .Header--overlay .Header-nav .Header-nav-item--active {
    display: none;
    }

//remove HOME from mobile nav
a:nth-child(1).Mobile-overlay-nav-item {
    display: none;
    }

Use the exact code from my October 15, 2021 post. You added the full URL for the href attribute which won't work.

You should also remove, make a copy somewhere, any other attempts at this effect as you don't want code working at cross purposes to each other.

Let us know how it goes.

😜 I was making it harder than needed. Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!!!
