One of theings I tried is to simple remove the content of header.php and replace it with my code, but that destroyed the page, so can you please guide me?

Hi. Does post #2 and #10 also apply for 3.2? Thanks.

Flynn Mar 18, 2009 06:49 PM

Yes, it should.

It took me quite awhile to wade through the forum and find what I needed - which was buried in post #36 on this thread - but I finally did. Thank you!

Thanks very much Flynn.

Everythinkg worked out for me fine aswell!

I just need to know now how to style these new links. font-size, font-weight and so on.

And I'd like to how I can enable a change effect. Change of text color if the link was activated. which means:

.../page1 --> page1 is black, other links are grey ... and so on.


Much appreciated.

Stefan

I've just found your theme and love it - thankyou!
I've also found this thread and it kind of fits what I need to do but not quite.
I'm not using the page bar but I am using the cat bar.
http//:www.news.caferoyal.org
You will see I have 'about' and 'email' links. I'd like to add these to the category bar, after the cats, along with other links to external sites.
I'm using the latest version of the theme - updated this morning!
Any help would be great



Ah, worked it out - same instructions just the category part of the code. However, I set the target as _blank and that command doesnt seem to be recognised in the dropdown?

Damn, got that now too, I used "" and it didn't want them!

Wow, this is quite a tutorial. I have a couple of questions, however. I hope you don’t mind me freshening up this thread again.

1. In post 20, Flynn, you address sagatr’s question about the highlighting on the current page only with internal links, which makes sense of course, but I have a horizontal nav bar with *one* external link. I would like the rest of the links on the bar to assume the current behavior while on internal pages. Is this possible?

2. Also, I noticed some flakey behavior with relative links in the nav bar. Each time one was selected it added another index.php to the address. Of course it threw a page not found error. I know I must be doing something wrong, but perhaps someone could set me straight.

3. Would you please tell me where I can change the properties of this navigation bar? I’d like to change the color.

4. After following all the instructions above (I used Post #2 and Post #10 because I’m using the newest version of Ata), when I placed the code in the header and removed %pages from Theme =>Options=>Header the new nav bar appeared below the image banner instead of above the blog name and tag line text, where it was. This is fine, but I would like to move the rest of the page down to allow room for the drop-down menu items. Is there a properties widget for this? Or could you tell me where the code is for this particular tweak?

Thanks in advance for all this assistance.

This whole thread is messy and I am looking to include something in 3.3.3 where all this won't be needed anymore.

Starr May 21, 2009 04:45 PM

hi,

I'm new to using this theme, new to blogging and even to Wordpress. This thread did get messy and it was sooo confusing. :confused:

Here is what I found to fix the issue of having a page name in the page menu link to an external site:

Redirect Wordpress Plugin

There was something similar posted above but that .php file wasn't recognizing as a plugin for me.

I installed this and had my page redirecting to the external site in less than a minute!

:D

Hope this helps!

It is an easy solution for users that are uncomfortable editing PHP code, like myself.

Couldn't get it going this end, i`ll play later it just kept crashing wp, and ending up with a blank page, prob me, like u say not happy with php :)

Was this done in the new version? I just upgraded to version 3.4.1 and I don't see any info in there and half the code is changed.

Hi,
I read through this thread because I want to create one menu bar comprised of both links to my pages and a few eternal links. Will the code here work for this scenario?
I am working in Atahualpa 3.4.1 with Wordpress 2.8.4.

Thx

TSS Aug 29, 2009 11:36 PM

Actually, I found an alternative with the plugin Page Links To: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ You can make any page or post link to wherever you want, so using the Page menu I can include links to external websites!

MrMail Sep 28, 2009 08:47 AM

So how would it now be done in version 3.4.2? I would like to add internal links to the page menu bar that are not pages? Specifically I would like to add Forums and possibly some other links

Athena Oct 8, 2009 02:02 AM

Hi,
I would like to know that answer to that question too. I'm using WP-Shopping Cart and want my product categories to be on my menu. Thanks! :)

Athena Oct 8, 2009 02:24 AM

Wow!!! It works :) You can link in or out of your blog.
Thanks!!! :)

Hi Guys,
is there any update to this method for Ata 3.4.4. I tried to find the string to replace in post #2 - its not there. I fiddled about in the vicinity of the nearest likely match, it produced a link, but below the image header rather than part of the normal page links. I didn't do the second part of the operation by following what is suggested in post #10 because I wasn't able to find the code to replace there either. My assumption is that the strings have changed in 3.4.4. - any advice please?

best wishes and thanks

thanks - this plug-in was the final piece that solved my problem of creating a category page that works with wp-pagenavi - the finished proof is at: http://bit.ly/devilsiT-tips

This is how I created my category page:

Plug-ins: wp-pagenavi, page2cat, page links to

Created category page template
Created category page
Used page2cat to link category to category page
Used "page links to" plug-in to link the category page to the index.php/category/tip page URL
