• hi I have started to use wordpress – amazing!

    but have hit one stumbling block I have created a few pages for “about” and “contact” etc but I cannot get them to appear on the navigation menu.

    I am sure I am being stupid but hands up I’m stuck!

    your theme only displays categories in the navbar
    you will need to modify the code in your theme’s header.php to display pages in the navbar

    basically – find the code displaying categories and replace it with this

    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

    back up 1st of course

    sorry i should have linked to a copy of header.php

    it’s ok
    replace this
    wp_list_categories('number=11&hierarchical=1&orderby=id&hide_empty=1&title_li=');
    with this

    wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order');

    Or add (instead of replace) Sambolls wp_list_pages if you still want your categories listed in your menu.

    wow thank you so much.

    Brill explanation – worked first time – can’t praise you guys enough.
    saved back up to hard disk, opened in Dreamweaver made change and uploaded and bingo! worked first time.

    I’m also very new to WordPress and php/css. I added the line

    wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order’);

    directly under

    wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order’);

    however the only thing that changed was the addition of the ‘About’ section. None of my categories were added to the header menu. Any idea why this might be???

    I’m using the same theme as dpcook

    nevermind…figured it out
