Categories and pages as menu items

  • I need a double navigation menu in the site I’m creating: a top menu with the 3 main categories and a lateral one with the pages in each category.
    I also need that current catagory and page result highlighted.
    Here’s a sample image: https://tinyurl.com/5utlnmd
    How can I do it?

  • Which theme are you using on your blog? Does it support the new menu system instroduced with WordPress 3.0?

    Check in the functions.php file of your theme if you find register_nav_menu.
    If not, you can register as many menus as you want there.

    add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

function register_my_menus() {
	register_nav_menus(
		array(
			'primary-menu' => __( 'Primary Menu' ),
			'secondary-menu' => __( 'Secondary Menu' )
		)
	);
}

    Once it is done, you can specifiy content for each menu under “Appearance > Menus”, and then display the menus by calling them in your template files:
    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' ) ); ?>

    You will find a lot of details about how to implement menus in that article from Justin Tadlock:

    I created the menus, but I could not solve the problem.
    I couldn’t make a custom sidebar-menu for each category pages and couldn’t make them result highlighted. I tried thousands of solutions..
    My extreme suicide solution is doing sidebar-menu in html in every single page.
    Help please!
