I have a problem I can't solve:
When I go to my client's website at bartosandrini.com the *Home* tab is not
highlighted, in fact a completely different tab, *Criminal/Traffic*, is
highlighted. This problem showed up after one of my client's blog editors
selected Promoted to front page in the *Publishing options* section.
[image: original.png]
These are my settings across the site
In *Site Configuration* *>* *Site Information*(or
/admin/settings/site-information)
Default front page: *http://bartosandrini.com/
The home page displays content from this relative URL. If unsure, specify
"node".
In the footer section on the same page and I am using <a
href="/"><u>Home</u></a>
In *Site Building* *>* *Menus* *>* *Primary Links* (or
/admin/build/menu/item/1964/edit)
Menu settings
Path: *
The path this menu item links to. This can be an internal Drupal path such
as *node/add* or an external URL such as *http://drupal.org*. Enter *<front>
* to link to the front page.
Menu link title: *
The link text corresponding to this item that should appear in the menu.
In *Site Building* *>* *Blocks* after selecting configure for the rotor in
the content top block
(or /admin/build/block/configure/views/rotor-block_1)
Page specific visibility
settings<http://bartosandrini.com/admin/build/block/configure/views/rotor-block_1#>
Show block on specific pages:
Show on every page except the listed pages.
Show on only the listed pages.
Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).
Pages:
Enter one page per line as Drupal paths. The '*' character is a wildcard.
Example paths are *blog* for the blog page and *blog/** for every personal
blog. *<front>* is the front page. If the PHP-mode is chosen, enter PHP code
between *<?php ?>*. Note that executing incorrect PHP-code can break your
Drupal site.
This problem first occurred in January and below is a copy of the advice I
received. Initially, this worked for me. This advice does not work and I
really don't know what to do or how to troubleshoot this.

The URL path settings should be front and not home.

I did that but I am still unable to see the Home tab highlighted in the
Primary menu. Any ideas?

Check admin/build/path/list that the alias exists, if not create it

alias exists in one part of the
list<http://drupal.org/node/678758#comment-2453242>

in a filtered list *nodes*, I see node/33 = node/33 and if I try to change
that it says that home is already being used.
Without a filter, home = node/33. Is this something I should change in the
database so that forward or reverse it says home = node/33 and node/33 =
home? Or should I delete the extra node/33 listing?

*home* is an Alias and *node/33* is in System.

delete that and start again, on the site info page make front page: node
Then make you menu path <front> call it anything you want ie Home

That worked. Should I leave everything as is now? And moreover how did I get
it so confused? Did I not read correctly somewhere down the line? I reset
this (I don't remember how now) a few times and every time I ran a major
update it changed itself. Do you think this might happen again?
