Or even what technology was used to make that?

[RESOLUTION]

Peredur & co.,

I have figured out how to modify the Navigation bar and would like to share my resolution with you for everyone’s benefit.

For me, it is specific to how the navigation bar is controlled in my particular theme. My theme is Jamacob and was developed by 123Triad.

123Triad has chosen to control the items and aesthetics of the navigation bar with the Shailan Dropdown Menu.

I found my php reference calling the dropdown menu function, namely <?php shailan_dropdown_menu(); ?> in the header.php template file and noticed that the previously active nav item, using wp_list_pages, has been commented out.

The key to making the Shailan Dropdown Menu work is 2 things:
1. Going to Appearance –> Menus and creating a Menu bar, for example “Navbar”, that contains the pages or any kind of items to be included in the Navigation bar that you want.

2. Then going to ‘Settings’ –> ‘Dropdown Menu’, finding the Template Tag Options box and under Menu Type choosing the new menu bar that you just created that contains the items you want for your Navigation bar, for example “Navbar”

and Voila! You should have it.
Contact me with any questions! [email protected]
Cheers!

peredur,

Thank you my friend for the help. What I have discovered unfortunately is that the theme I am using, a custom theme, gives me the following message when I go to create a custom menu:

The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar.

I also tried using the “Custom Menu” widget but that is only for sidebars as far as I have seen and I need it for the nav bar.

I will have to see how else to modify the navigation bar.

If you’re willing to help further, the website is Jamacob.com (does that allow you to access the theme code?) if not, I can show you any particular bit if it would help you help me find how to find that bit of code (to modify the navigation bar)

Thanks,
Benjamin

Try using heading tags instead of paragraph text.

where would i change the paragraph tags to heading text? main.css?

OK great. I’ll check it out.

Thanks

No, How would I do that? Where do I do it?

PAE,

Thanks. But I’ve tried to edit the Navigation menu. There does not seem to be any effect when I edit it.

I’ll try again though.

Thanks,

I am finding out that in my theme, maybe this applies to others depending on the code in footer.php, I simply need to modify the arguments that are being plugged in to the wp_list_pages function.

For example, above, in the code display where it says $args = array that list of arguments, depth, echoand so on, determine what and how appears in the footer on my site. checkout for details on what each argument/parameter does.

Pay particular attention to include if you are trying to adjust which pages show up as links in your footer.

Enjoy!

alchymyth,

I thank you dearly. That’s terrific. It worked.

You can see for yourself:
https://jamacob.com/?page_id=1001
It is now showing post entries!!

question:
how did the posts get shown before you set the posts page in the dashboard under ‘settings – reading’?

The blog posts were already not showing when I took over the development of this site.

Will try your home.php suggestion.

Thank you much!

disregard this post

I have designated https://jamacob.com/?page_id=1001 to be my ‘posts page’ in the settings-reading

Code for index.php is: (Is index.php the template used for the page designated ‘posts page’?)

Bare in mind the Index.php that i find in my ftp folder is different somehow and has code as follows:
