Suggestions on creating a site which displays different menus

Not been successful in toying with it and searching online. Anyone have any ideas?

Should I just install multiple installs of WordPress in each directory and then is there a plugin where I can do a multiple WordPress install combined search?

Thanks

You can hard code menus in the nav area of your header, you have to remove the code which creates the dynamic menu.

this is a long thread where two other members and myself struggled with not only adding multiple menus, but styling each differently. It works.

here’s the basic idea, 2 condtional menus:

replace this:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

With:

<div id="access">

<?php if (is_page('page-slug')) { ?>

<ul>
<li class="current-menu-item-red">
<a href="https://www.yoursite.com">home</a>
<li class="green">
<a href="https://www.yoursite.com/about_us">about us</a>
<li class="blue"><a href="https://www.yoursite.com/contact_us">contact</a>
</ul>
<?php }?>

<?php if (is_page('page-slug')) { ?>

<ul>
<li class="current-menu-item-red">
<a href="https://www.yoursite.com">home</a>
<li class="green"><a href="https://www.yoursite.com/about_us">some-page</a>
<li class="blue"><a href="https://www.yoursite.com/contact_us">some-other-page</a>
</ul>
<?php }?>

</div>

note use of conditionals to specify which of the 2 pages show which menu.

do you mean a menu like

https://pwarch.com.au/

a horizontal submenu?

yes, seems that woud be easier and accomplsh the same.

for any sort of sub menu stuff.. better to stick with your back end functionality and implement something like superfish to do all the hard work for you..

similarly plenty of cool css tricks and tips for nested menus at listamatic2

??

@deepbevel – cool stuff. I will look into that if I don’t find the answer haxxxton mentioned.

@haxxxton – That site’s menu style wasn’t what I had in mind, but I like it a lot and definitely could use that. So superfish or listamatic2 would be the direction to investigate to get those menus then? It would be implemented on OptimizePress.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help.

here’s a way to get different wp custom menus without having to hard code the links.

Nice! Thank you. I’ll give it a try.

this code was in my header:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

so I did this:

<?php if (is_page('page-one')) { ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header','menu' => 'Custom 1', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
<?php }?>

I added the page-condtional, and also added:

'menu' => 'Custom 1',

to the array, Custom one is the name of my custom menu.

it works!

Cool. Do you have a link where I can see it in action?

here I have a different menu for the page “test”

code looks like this:

<?php if (is_page('test')) { ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header','menu' => 'Custom 1', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

<?php } else{ ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
<?php }  ?>

currntyly trying to get it to show 2 at once, one below the other.

blah, sometimes I can’t see what I type. Anyway I gave up trying to get 2 menus but I managed to locate adapt some of the style elements
for the custom menu, while leaving the default as is. It’s been the most difficult css wrangle I’ve attempted, but maybe i’ll learn something. So far I can change the nav bar and link colors anyway.
If you need to do anything like this i may be able to help some, but I have a feeling I’m doing it the hard way, as ussual.
