Hi, in according to SEO (cfr. this link for ex.: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/optimise-your-home-tab-text-for-better-seo )
I would change the word Home with something more descriptive my own site.

I see the code related to the nav tab Home, if I’m right is:
a href=”?php echo site_url() ?” title=”?php _e( ‘Home’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?”?php bp_site_name() ?/a>

I don’t know php, so my question is:
can I safely change ‘Home’ in the string?
with no problems? or there is another way, maybe?

Thank you in advance for your help!

P.S. I’m sorry, I cut the brackets because the code don’t appear… I tried also with the code tag but nothing…

‘Home’ or ‘Index’ are two very accepted conventions in web sites denoting as they do the domain site root or initial main page, I doubt you will gain much in SEO terms from changing them, often there is too much emphasis placed on suppossed SEO enhancements.

However if you must di it then read through this page for a better understanding oof the approaches you could take:

But yes you could change the string as seen in the main header.php nav

thank you hnla for you kind answer! and for the link too, interesting
I think you have right it’s not very important the home-seo-thing! but, I have yet a custom header.php in my theme, so maybe I’ll change the string… now you have reassured me, and try costs nothing

thank you again, ciao!

I just want to add my site name in the tab but not have the name shoe up in my header. How do I do that?

@faberuna … you’ll need to edit your header.php file.
