I've done a search and haven't found this case, hence my question.

I have a Pages menu with "Depth of Page Menu Bar" at 1. I've made submenus with the WP menus. I'd like a click on a main menu item to link to the first item in the submenu. (I'm not putting a link to my website here since it's not ready for primetime.)

I've also set "Don't link first level parent items in Page Menu Bar" to "Yes".

Like this:
Home...About...Info...Contact
About
...About Company
...Credentials
...History

I want it so you click on About and it takes you to About Company. Any ideas? Thank you!

You would make both the main menu and sub-menu with the WordPress menu system and then just create a custom menu item and link it to whatever you want.

Thanks, Larry. That solves the linking issue.

Now all I have to do is a bunch of research on how to style this dang WP menu!

I put it in a header widget area. Is there another way to place it near the top of my WP site? To get it horizontal?

Thank you!

Just use %pages in the Style Header Area box and associate the menu in question to it in Appearance > Menus. See this screenshot.

Well, by searching these forums I got a clue: I had to add %pages back into the Configure Header Area (I had taken it out since I removed my ATA menu--wrong move).

The styling is coming along, though I have some issues with it. Maybe I'll put them in a new thread.

Thank you, Larry! I'll paypal you a donation.
