inspect element? i assume you mean you're using firebug or chrome or whatever and just change the name? the only thing that does is change the name for the already loaded page on your browser. it doesn't save anything back to your site.

go to Full Sitemap from the dashboard, expand the pages that holds the external link and click on it and a menu will appear where you will be able to edit the name, url etc.

Thanks for the response cherrycake! I have gone into the dashboard but the external links still won't show up, I've expanded everything. The problem is, the the two tabs (social and blog) are on every page just as side clickables. I still can't manage to locate them anywhere in the dashboard.

are you sure they are implemented as "external links" in concrete? perhaps they are hard-coded in the theme/php files? it definitely sounds like it if you can't find them listed in the site map.

I honestly don't know, the guy that made the site for us awhile ago has since quit and has changed paths. Any idea how I'd look for it in the hard code?

your site most likely uses a custom theme? go to /dashboard/pages/themes and see what theme is active. note the name and via ftp, look for it in either /themes or /packages. if you find it under /packages the actual path to the theme will be /packages/[some_theme_name]/themes/[some_theme_name].

once you've found the theme folder, it's a matter of finding the file that would have the links hard-coded. look for files named header.php (could be located under /elements or /includes or similar). also look for default.php. that should tell you what other php files might be used, and the links could even be defined there.

another approach could be to just use download the whole theme folder locally and use notepad++ or similar to search through an entire directory for certain words (social for instance).

Thank you so much cherrycake! I will definitely try these techniques out and hope for the best. Again thank you so much for walking me through this I definitely appreciate it!
