Cant add new pages to my navigation

The template tag, wp_list_pages(), is typically used by theme designers to display Pages in a nav bar. With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your Pages (probably header.php), then look for wp_list_pages and see if there’s something restricting the Pages that are your menu (e.g an include= or exclude= list).

Ok here is what I found in the header.php. What do I do with it now? Btw thanks for the help.

<li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class=”current_page_item”<?php } ?>>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”>Home<?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages(‘include=’.$theme_options[“top_menu_pages”].’&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’)); ?>

Add the page id of your contact page to the include list. To find the page, go to your page edit and look in the url for ?p=somenumber and enter that number to the list below. For example, if the page id was 20 this would be the code:

<li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">Home
<?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages('include=20,'.$theme_options["top_menu_pages"].'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=')); ?>

Hope that works for ya. It’s also including pages liste dint eh “top_menu_pages” in your theme options, so you might be able to include the contact page there instead.

hmmm I couldn’t get that to work. Here is what I tried.

<li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class=”current_page_item”<?php } ?>>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”>Home<?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages(‘include=contact,’.$theme_options[“top_menu_pages”].’&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’)); ?>

I have my permalinks set to /%postname%/

I also set my permalinks back to default and put the p# in and that did not work for me either.

Here’s another approach that should work for you, add the link to the contact page in html after the ?>, like this:

<li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">Home
<?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages('include='.$theme_options["top_menu_pages"].'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=')); ?>
<li class="page_item"><a href="https://www.stupidpicturesvideosandmusic.com/contact/">Contact</a></li>

haha success! Thank You! If I want to add more pages can I do the same with a different page?

I really appreciate your help.

hmmm there is a little problem though. On all my navigation there is a bar above them. When you are on a particular page that bar should be red. On the contact page it is still gray. Do you know how to fix that by any chance?

Hi, that red bar shows up when the list item has the “current_page_item” class, so let’s print that if we’re on the contact page. Try this code:

<li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">Home
<?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages('include='.$theme_options["top_menu_pages"].'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=')); ?>
<li class="page_item<?php if (is_page('contact')){ ?> current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="https://www.stupidpicturesvideosandmusic.com/contact/">Contact</a></li>

Great I got that to work! Thank You sooo much.
