Sidebar Navigation Control

  • Hi,

    I’m looking to do something seemingly simple with my WP site, but can’t seem to figure it out.

    My site consists primarily of pages, I use wordpress like a CMS

    I’d like to have control over the sidebar navigation menu, where I can name the link to the page anything I want. Preferably I would be able to bold certain text, like page parents etc.

    eg my page title is “How to Stop Dog Barking”, but I want it to only read “Stop Dog Barking” in the side bar.

    I’ve searched far and wide for a plugin that will do this. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t think that will do what I want.

    I want to rename my pages, so they don’t show as the entire title of the page in the side navigation menu. Some titles are a bit long winded.

    You know, something like the permalink option where you can designate the URL to whatever you want, so it’s not the exact title of the page.

    Does that make sense?

    Yes – that’s why you need to read the page at the link I gave above.

    OK got it. Thanks for the help.

    Now two things —

    I’m using a plugin called Nice Navigation that displays an animated collapsing page navigation with parent/child pages, but there isn’t the option to designate navigation labels for each page.

    When I create a menu and use that widget, it creates a static menu with all child pages showing under the parent page. I’d rather not have this.

    Is there a way to designate navigation labels for my pages without using the custom menu widget?

    Also, I’m using the Ultimate Noindex plugin so I have rel=”nofollow” control over my navigation menu. It works fine with the Nice Navigation widget, but not with the custom menu widget.

    Thanks for the help
