Never mind! Found my answer.

Ok, I’ve done this, and it’s not quite what I want to happen. Instead of showing an entire page, I want the menu item to be a link to a form that, when clicked on, shows with fancybox.

I’m using this for a login, and I don’t want an entire page for the login. I want it to be accessible from any page via a popup.

I’ve placed my form in a text widget in the header and hidden it so it can only be seen when it is called by clicking the menu item. This is what I need help with.

Thanks for your response.

Seriously, no one can help me link a fancybox to a menu item?

Nevermind. I’m going to start over and try a different route.

I’ve read through this multiple times and I really need help understanding it. From what I can see under my permalink settings everything matches what should be done according to Using_Permalinks. All I did was select one of the common settings.

This is the first theme I’ve coded from scratch, so it’s very possible that I have missed something that is causing this to happen, but I haven’t been able to find it.

Thanks for the quick response, but I don’t see how this helps me?

I haven’t done anything to alter any links. From what I’ve read, mod_write pertains to making cleaner permalinks, and that seems irrelevant here.

I put together a loop to display thumbnails and titles that link to the post. That works fine; when you click a thumbnail it sends you to the right url. That url is calling the index page instead of the post.

Please, actually look at the page I linked to better understand.

Thanks! I actually figured it out. Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Actually, I managed to get it working somehow. I’ll give that a go because it looks like a cleaner process. Thanks so much! I couldn’t have done this without you.

Ok, so I did as you said, but it’s still not linked to the login in the nav bar. I put the widget in the footer, and it shows text because of this line of code:<a href="#login" class="fancybox">Login to Gandiprinters</a>

When I click on the link, it opens the box, but not when I click on the nav item. I changed the menu link to #login, but that doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Ok thank you. I’ve fixed that, and the box pops up like I’d like it too. However, is there a way for it to be linked to the “login” in the nav bar instead of being a page?

Weird the second link did not work. Here it is again.

Here it is. https://gandyprinters.com/wordpress/

I hope I’m asking this in a clear way. If you visit the existing site (not my handiwork:gandyprinters.com and click on the Login in the nav, you will see what I want to achieve.

Thanks,
Rebecca

So as a “for now” solution I hard-coded a list of the posts into the template, but I don’t know how to link it to the appropriate pages (I don’t want to hardcode a URL as that will change when the site goes live). I would also like the current post to be underlined.

Here’s my code:

<ul class="crumb_nav">
	<li><a href="#">Brochures</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Business Cards</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Digital Booklets</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Door Hangers</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Flyers</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Pocket Folders</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Postcards</a></li> &bull;
    <li><a href="#">Posters</a></li>
</ul>

Thanks, but this isn’t working for me. I’m not sure if I’m using it wrong, or misreading something. What I want is a popup/flyover box to appear below the Login Tab when it is clicked on. This box should contain the login form as I have via this code:

<form method=post action="https://host.onlineprintsolutions.com/gandyprinters/login.asp">
     <input type=text size=23 id=user name=user onfocus="if(this.value == 'Username'){this.value = '';}" onblur="if(this.value == ''){this.value='Username';}" value="Username">
     <br>
     <input size=23 type="text" name=password onfocus="if(this.value == 'Password'){this.value = '';this.type='password';this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value == '')          {this.type='text';this.value='Password';}" value="Password">
     <br>
     <div id="button"><p><input class="clsSubmit" type=submit value="Login" id=submit1 name=submit1 onClick="if ((user.value=='') && (password.value=='')){alert('Please enter your user name & password');return false}"></p>

    <p><a href="https://gandyprinters.com/wordpress/register"><input type="button" value="Register"/></a></p></div>
     </div>
     </form>

Thank you so much! For some reason I never got emails about your respsonses, and I’ve just now seen them. Thank you so much!
