    Hello,

    How can I simply add Blog category to main nav bar? WP via Appearance–>Menus has no impact.

    When I go into Theme Options, Menu 1 and Menu 2 pertain to Page Menu and Category Menu. Site is currently using Menu 1 (Page Menu) – can I have a hybrid?

    I cannot locate an answer, or even this question, via Google search.

    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Paul

    So you went to Appearance → Menus and added a Category menu item and it doesn’t display a list of posts from that category when you click on it? Can you please post a link to your site so we can take a look?

    @crouchingbruin thank you for your reply. I apologize for delay, evidently I did not check “notify of follow-up replies.”

    Correct on adding a Category menu item. It’s as if the theme overrides WP.

    Here is link:

    Atahualpa has two header configuration (ATA->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Configure Header Area) %pages and %cats. These work in conjunction with the Appearance->Menus items.

    If you don’t have eithor %pages or %cats in the ‘Configure Header Area’ option, you won’t get any menu. If you have %pages and you have not created a custom menu and assigned it to ‘Theme Location – Menu 1’, then you will get all pages at that location. Same for %cats and ‘Theme Location – Menu 2’.

    If you build a custom menu (which can contain both pages and categories) and assign it to ‘Theme Location – Menu 1’, it will show up where you use %pages in the themes ‘Configure Header Area’ option. Same for ‘Menu 2’ and %cats.

    This was done beause the theme was built and hade the %pages and %cats option long before WordPress had the menu option. It gives you both options – you can have a custom menu or let Atahualpa automatically build you an menu of your pages or categories – or you can create own custom menus yourself.
