Need to update/remove additional top menu item

[Mike Culnane]

We are in the trial stage of a Confluence launch - and needed to present the home page better as we go to our users and are a bit confused.

The default home page was not what we wanted. We named our Confluence instance "WALT"

To set up a replacement home page we created a space (WALT Home) and modified the overview with a bunch of large images to access other spaces .

We changed the logo to a Walt logo and it's displaying at the top LH of menu which links to the overview (this sends users to /spaces/WH/overview?mode=global)

Somehow we now have a navigation item alongside the WALT logo that says WALT Home and goes to the same location ?

Alongside this is also a Home Menu item - that now takes me to a traditional home page 

My question is how do we end up with just the logo & Home or just the logo

@Mike Culnane Welcome to Confluence!

The answer that you don’t want to hear is that you can’t change that layout or behavior. If you add a logo, as you did for WALT, it is hyperlinked to your selected home page. The Home button is linked to the standard Confluence home page. What I need to determine is how you wound up with the extra WALT Home on your menu. I will test my theory in my personal instance before posting it though.

Andy - am fine with the Logo & the Home page menu item as standard functionality

And yes - that was my issue - how do I remove the magical Menu item titled "Walt Home"

This is the element in the menu bar 

<div class="css-d6vpf6">
<a class="css-1wujclu" href="/wiki/spaces/WH/overview?mode=global" tabindex="0">
<span class="css-19r5em7">
<span data-testid="app-navigation-primary-custom-home">WALT Home</span>
</span>
</a>
</div>

@Mike Culnane my theory was correct. For some reason, and I cannot explain this, when you change your site homepage from the default, it will place the name of the newly anointed Home Space in between your Logo (which takes you to the new home page) and the Home option (which takes you to the default/old home page). 

I tested this in my sandbox, and when I changed the default home page form dashboard to the PCI Space, the second image below is the result.

I am hoping on of my colleagues in the Community can assist with the explanation.

So would be good to know if there is an option to turn this off given the access already exists via the logo

@Mike Culnane I have done some research and it does not seem that it can be turned off. Sorry about that.
