Menus

Difficulty: Easy (No technical work required, it’s just a new options page for you to use!)

NB – You must be running at least WordPress version 3.0, and any of the current versions of Chameleon and your theme (Latest download links are always available in your members area).

WordPress 3.0 added a new feature to WordPress; custom menus. These make it very easy for you to add pages, categories, tags, or even links, into your main navigation bar (the “menu”).

Better yet, because all of the PliablePress themes come with sub-menu support (Either with dropdowns, or another way of showing sub-menus), you can use the new menu editor to build your whole navigation easily.

What If I Preferred the Old Way?

Before now, navigation in WordPress has always been a list of your Pages. The good news is that if that is all you want, then you can forget all about this!

If you haven’t made a menu, a list of your WordPress Pages will be displayed instead (And if any of them are sub-pages, they’ll appear in dropdowns as well!).

How To Create Your Menu

But let’s assume you do want to pick and choose what goes into your menu, just follow these steps:

  • Log in to your WordPress dashboard, and then click Appearance > Menus.
  • At the top of the page, type a name for your menu (e.g. Nav), and then click “Create Menu”

  • From the sections on the left of the screen, you can now click the Pages/Categories/Tags that you would like in your menu (Don’t worry about ordering them just yet). And if you want to add a link to another site, just use the “Custom Links” box. When you’ve selected something, just click “Add to Menu.”
  • To re-arrange your links, just click the mouse down on a link and drag it to where you would like it to be, then let go. To set up sub-menus (dropdowns), just drag the link so that it is indented beneath the link you would like it to appear under.

  • When you’re finished, make sure to click “Save Menu!”

Custom CSS Classes

This is for advanced users only. 99% of people won’t need it!

It is possible to add a custom CSS class to each of your menu items. This can be very useful when you want a particular item to be styled differently to the rest of the menu.

“Tags” box, and the “CSS Classes” box to enable these features as well. Now click “Screen Options” again to hide it.

You’ll now find that when you edit a link, there is a box for CSS classes as well.
