manage multiple menus

Guess you need to further explain where you want the two menus and what you want in those menus. For instance the Amazing Grace theme has a menu navigation bar for categories and a menu navigation bar for Pages.

I have used Multipages Widget and NAVT Plugins. I loved NAVT but it stopped functioning in my installations above Version 1.26.

NAVT had everything. You could mix Pages and Categories, define custom Links, define pages you want the menu to show on and users who were allowed to see the menu… great stuff!

Hi again!

I’d like to have two menus with pages (different pages in each menu), coz I us WP as a kind of CMS. One main menu and a second one for things like contact, FAQ, imprint …etc.
I’m using a custom theme, so I could manually add something like <?php menu(1); ?> or <?php menu(2); ?>

When editors want to add pages later they can decide in which menu to show the page.

As I said…
You might want to use the multipages widget. For that you just make subpages for every menu. Like this:

Menu1
– subpage1
– subpage 2

Menu2
– subpage1
– subpage2

And then in the Widgets, you put two multipages widgets in your sidebar and define the ID of head-Page.

If you create a new page you want to put in menu 2 you just make it as a subpage of the page “menu2”.

thanks, that subpage-idea is a nice approach i didn’t thought about.

another solution is to use a special field called “menu” and set this value depending on which menu you want to belong the page.
in the template you you list the pages depending on this meta-value…

(by the way there is a plugin to pre-define special fields keys and values as a set radio-buttons… which makes this solution looking less like a “hack” for clients)
