Whereas, wp_nav_menu() does allow the change of the container. So as a fallback, wp_page_menu() might break the CSS styling. <em>edit: added missing elements as noted. The Doctor</em> You can make wp_page_menu() show ‘HOME by adding the following code to functions.php within your theme:


function my_page_menu_args($args) {
$args['show_home'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu_args', 'my_page_menu_args');

The problem is that wp_page_menu() does not allow the change of the container element from <div> to <nav> for example. Whereas, wp_nav_menu() does allow the change of the container. So as a fallback, wp_page_menu() might break the CSS styling.

Sorry, it was not clearly indicated above. @Steven – Yes, it works quite well, but I was referencing the parameter `show_home` is not used directly by `wp_nav_menu`.

wp_nav_menu(array(
'show_home' => true,
));

You might start looking in your header.php template file for obvious references to home, then proceed to your functions.php file if necessary. @chaz – That would depend on your theme.
