editing the menu

  • Hi, my name is Julio Extra.

    The website I operate is https://www.energy-independence.com/
    The domain name is registered through Namescout, but hosted on Lunarpages. A friend of mine installed WordPress 2.6 for me, but I should have installed it myself because now I’m lost.

    I’m not a total idiot to web design and computers, but assume that I am.

    If you visit my site you will see a menu on the top. Home, About, Links, Photos, Friends. I would like to be able to edit the names of those categories, I would also like to be able to post articles in those categories.

    I honestly tried hard to fix it myself before coming to the forums. I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

  • You need to link the items to a category page.
    First of all: create categories (Manage > Categories > New) for each title.
    Second: Write a post and assign it to a category.
    Third: Make sure you know the category base. You can find it under ‘Settings > Misc.’ Most likely it’s /categories/.

    If your category is called ‘Friends’ (the slug is most likely ‘friends’ then, unless you’ve changed it) you need to link the ‘Friends’ link on top of the page (in the header) to https://(your-domain)/categories/(category slug)/
    That’s it!

    Can you go over step 3 in greater detail? To be honest, I don’t really know what that means at all.

    And how exactly do I add “Cars” as a menu item as opposed to “About”

    “About” is a page, not a category. That is to say: usually it is. It seems like your top navivation consists just of “links” (“manage” “links” and add a new one).
