    HI,

    I am new to WordPress and have created a site. Along the top the site has a navigation menu, altogether i have 9 pages but the menu will only list 7 buttons then the hides the last 2 pages under a drop down button labeled more pages. I cant understand why it does this as there is plenty of room for the buttons to be listed.

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    I would be so greatful for any help because this is druving me mad!

    Please use backticks when typing code `.

    The limitation is not in your header.php it seems. Maybe in the stylesheet or perhaps another file that handles navigation. Functions.php could be option 3.

    Don’t page large pieces of code on the forums please. Use wordpress.pastebin.com next time.

    I’m not that much of a coder, but it seems like your theme has setting features (under ‘appearance’, ‘settings’ or so).
    echo "These options allow you to control the navigation of your blog.";
    and

    echo "
    The Following Pages will be hidden from the Top Navigation Links

    These two texts (“these options allow you…” and “the following pages…” are not meant to be shown on the website, so I guess they are used on some theme settings page.

    IS there an options screen for your theme?

    Yes when i go into it the only option reads

    Page Navigation Options
    These options allow you to control the navigation of your blog.
    The Following Pages will be hidden from the Top Navigation Links

    But none of the pages are ticked, next to where the buttons are listed there was a search box but i deleted it so the buttons could list all the way along the top, i think it still thinks its there. If this make sense

    And you can’t set a number after which “the following pages will be hidden…”?
    Weird. I’d ask the theme author. Perhaps (s)he has a forum or page where you can leave your questions.

    I found this in the style sheet but when i remove it doesnt do much?

    /*Drop Down*/
    #navmenu li { float: left; display: block; position: relative;}

    #navmenu ul ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 26px; left: 0; width: 160px; background: #f4f3ee; border:0 solid #ccc; border-width:0 1px 1px 1px;}
    #navmenu ul ul ul { left: 100%; top: -1px; }

    #navmenu ul li li { float: none; border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px; text-align:left;}

    #navmenu a {font-size:10px;}
    #navmenu li {font-size:0px;}

    #navmenu ul li:hover ul ul,
    #navmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul ul { display: none; }

    #navmenu ul li:hover ul,
    #navmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul,
    #navmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul li:hover ul { display: block; }

    .nocomments, .left p a.post-edit-link{
    padding:10px 40px;
    }
    .left .postmetadata p a.post-edit-link{
    padding:0;

    So in your WP admin you have the block “appearance” and thereunder you can see something like “themes” “widgets” “editor” “menus” “options”? Use the options. Don’t go editing files when you don’t have to. If all fails, get in contact with the theme author. We here don’t even know what them you’re talking about and if we did, comb through the files. And again, I have the idea that you have an options screen somewhere, so why not just use that?
