Hey there Richard,

Yes I have already created other pages in the past, such as https://www.t-shirt-alert.com/about-t-shirt-alert/

My permalink structure looks like this is customised, but only very simply, using this /%postname%

Does this shed any more light on things?

Hey again,

I ended up hardcoding the navigation menu using straight HTML in the header.php file. Not ideal, but I don’t plan on changing the pages any time soon so no big deal I guess.

I still would like to know if anyone can see any bugs in the php code (refer to last post) which is causing my navigation menu to appear pretty much empty.

Hey…the problem is definitely in the header.php file in my theme folder, but I am no php expert so can’t understand why this code isn’t working.

The way that I confirmed it was the header.php file, was that I changed the text “Home” to “Homey” as a test, and of course when I refreshed the blog the text changed accordingly.

I have attached the navigation code…does anyone have any ideas why my blog is not picking up the static Pages I have created in WordPress and adding them to my navigation bar? I have also tried creating new Pages but to no avail..

Here’s the code.

<!-- navigation ................................. -->
<div id="navigation">

<!--	<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">
		<fieldset>
			<input value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
		 	<input type="submit" value="Go!" id="searchbutton" name="searchbutton" />
		</fieldset>
	</form> -->

	<ul>
		<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class='selected'"; ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
		<?php
		$pages = BX_get_pages();
		if ($pages) {
			foreach ($pages as $page) {
				$page_id = $page->ID;
   				$page_title = $page->post_title;
   				$page_name = $page->post_name;
   				if ($page_name == "archives") {
   					(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Archives</a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif($page_name == "about") {
   					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">About</a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
   					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Contact</a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
           	 	else {
            		(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
            		echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">$page_title</a></li>\n";
            	}
    		}
    	}
		?>
	</ul>

</div><!-- /navigation -->
