Q: Can I change the title of “Archives” or “Categories” menus to something else?

A: Yes. To change the word “Archives” in your WordPress admin panel, go to “Design (’Presentation’ in WP 2.3 and earlier)” –> “Theme Editor”, and open the “topnav.php” file. Look for this line:

<li><a href="#">Archives</a>

Change the word “Archives” to whatever you want, like so:

<li><a href="#">Old Junk</a>

To change “Categories” to whatever you want, further down, look for this line:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=<a href="#">Categories</a>');?>

Change the word “Categories” like so:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=<a href="#">Types of Posts</a>'); ?>
