Pages automatically seems to be added to header.

How to add a page to only one sidebar for example I guess is my question.

Isnt there some easy plugin for us Beginners?

I think it Should be pretty easy lol.

For example then enter widgets and drag “meta” to my sidebar. “Meta” shows up there ofc and under it is
“Site Admin
Log out
Entries RSS
Comments RSS
www.remarpro.com”

I just want to to change the name of the “meta” part and the for exmaple the “side admind” redirecting links and what it to show when I click on it..

Which I managed to do when I dragged “links” into right sidebar through the widgets section, but links as I mentioned also shows up on main header and that I dont want. Only want it on side bar.

Bump ?? there has to be some sort of simple solution I could imagine.

this depends on your theme. it seems like your theme developer has decided that widgets should show up in 2 places.

Alright I figures out how to “exclude” pages. I still have the problem of it automatically getting added to the main header though

Ok, I have the Easel 2.0.6 theme. I have found a link to his site so I guess I have to wait until he gets online or something.

just created the “trying to figure out” and thats Ok, then excluded the ” Contact Me.
Info about the page.”

but stil the “trying” shows up on main header =(

and I would want the “Info about the page. “Contact Me.” removed from there also

Tried this with another theme the twentyten and it has the same problem.

When you create a page, do you press punblish right away? or can you publish the page through something else? I press publish right away and then it add’s itself directly under the header.

If you click on my page again you can see to the right “I dont want this under the header” I created a menu and added it to the right sidebar.. And I ofc want pages on it.. buit when I create a page, which I obviously have to do to be able to added it into menu. It just auto adds into the top there.

THats my only problem for now, And it makes it look bad.

And in the menu you can remove pages by adding number.. but I dont know where I can do that for under the header thing

Hello,

I think I can help you.
The correct name for the “main header” is the “Navigation” menu or just called “Menu”. Pages are added automatically to the navigational menu & you will have not control UNLESS you use a template / theme which allows you to use custom menus – then you can control which items are added… (….most newer themes now allow you to create at least one custom nav. menu. The default theme that comes with WordPress, “TwentyTen” allows one custom menu, I believe. I prefer to use themes which allows 2…. but that’s just my personal preference).

Now, go to the back of your site & look down the left side menu and look down the list – find the “Appearance” tab & click on it – then below it is a another tab / sub-menu called “Menus” – click on that, and see if your theme allows custom nav. menus, and if so, how many.

If it DOES allow custom menus – first you need to create & then name the custom menu(s). I usually name my menus “Main Menu” & “Top Menu” (or “Footer Menu” if the theme’s 2nd menu is in the footer). After adding & naming your new menu, you need to save it. You will also need to add it to the theme or it won’t display – look on the top left area of the menus page & there is a box with 1 or more drop-downs, with the name of your new custom menus you just created in it – if the theme allows 2, then you need to lock them both in (eg: custom menu #1 = “Top Menu”, custom menu #2 = “Main Menu”. Once you press “Save”, they are locked in to your theme & will now show up on the front-end of the site.

Next you need to add all the items (pages, categories etc) to the new custom menu(s). To do this you just tick the boxes in the “Add Pages” & “Add Categories” lists, & press add & they will then appear on the right of your screen, underneath the new menu (You can make some of them sub-menus by dragging / moving them underneath each other). When you are happy with your new menu structure, press “Save” again – check the front of the site & make sure you are happy with it, & that’s it!!

If your theme does NOT allow custom nav. menus – I suggest you maybe consider looking for a theme which does. There are ways of working around it, but I think it might be too difficult for you at this time, however if you really need to keep the current theme you could look at adding a menu to it (via code added directly into the template, or maybe a plugin etc….).

Hope I’ve explained it clearly enough for you to understand, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it – good luck!

By the way, you can also create additional custom menus & display them in your sidebar area …. it’s the same process as above, but you don’t add them to the theme…. instead, there is a widget which displays them in the sidebar area (you select which menu you want to display in the widget via a drop-down list, within the actual widget).

I just checked out your site, (very nice) & I noticed you are not using SEO links / permalinks – you might want to set those up ASAP & also preferably before you get indexed by Google etc, as the sooner they’re done the better – in the back-end of your site go to “Settings” & then “Permalinks”. You can change them there (I suggest you visit & read the link provided, as it is very informative – also, if you plan on having more than 30 or 40 posts in your site then it is recommended by WordPress that your permalinks include a number structure as well, (such as including the year, date, or ID numbers), rather than just using a /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/ permalink ….. otherwise it can affect the performance of the site & slows it down (you can read more about it via the link listed on the Permalinks page)

Thank you Kind Sir. Pretty much all I had to do as you mentioned was was make a theme the “main theme” and a theme that didnt include anything (if I dont want it do) Didnt know the main theme and additional theme thing. Its not easy being a complete novice. But I figured the solution was pretty damn easy when you know what the problem was. So thx again!

I think I have another problem though. I just created the problem to show you. When I create a custom meny and put it on the right sidebar (ehich I have now) and add pages to it the, I dont know the english word but just by looking at it you will understand my point. the menu doesnt “cover the links” I think its and easy fix just adjusting the hight of the menu, but how?

Thank you soooooo much anyway!

Fuck when I created the new meny it god added again, hmm let me try and figure out lol

Ok, I managed that, but still the menu size problem on the right as you can see ??
The pages going “underneath” the menu

And I fixed the permalinks I think. Let me know if I did anything wrong! =)
