Hi guys, apologies if this is elsewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Basically, in the page menu bar, instead of the text, I want a to put about 5 or 6 various graphics in which I will then link to places in my site. I understand from reading the other posts that when a new page is created the list won't automatically update but I'm fine with that. I've tried using CSS insert and inserted the following:

ul.rMenu li
{
background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/button_home.jpg);

}

This simply changed the background of the page menu bar, whereas I am trying to add multiple graphics to this bar (just static ones) so that I can let users click them and navigate to another area of the site.

I was wondering if there was any CSS that allowed me to insert these images onto this bar??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

There might be an easier way, but what about creating a multi-cell new widget area and populating it with your images and links, and putting it in the header? Then you could just not use the Page menu bar at all.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I'll search around on how to create one of these multi-cell widgets, but am unsure if I can put it in my header as I already have an image in my header that I need to keep

Not a problem. Look in your Appearance/Atahualpa Theme Options/Style and Edit Header Area.

Here is what I have in my Configure Header Area:

%image  <?php bfa_widget_area('name=top760_ad'); ?> %pages %cats %bar2

http://www.larchmontgazette.com

Notice I have the Larchmont Gazette image header, then the banner ads, then the pages and category menus, then a thin decorative Bar2.

Thanks for your help! It's starting to come along now, well, it's stuck a black bar with links from my "post tags" below my header that would be great if i could get images instead - the question is, how do I get it to reference a multi cell widget? Do I have to create a multi cell widget? I am very grateful for your replies by the way!

Just had a thought.. has it put a categories bar due to %cats?

Many thanks

If you have %cats, yes, you'll get a categories bar.

Read the section in the theme options about how to create a new widget area. Also do a search here for threads about it.

Hi thanks for that, I've been reading around and trying to create a widget for the last few hours but to no avail! I have got one of the images that I want appearing in the correct place (just below the header). When I try and copy the code in again it places another image below the image I placed in before (so it goes down vertically instead of across horizontally).


%image %page-center %bar1 <div id="my_new_widget_area" class="bfa_widget_area"><img height="40" width "260" alt="Lady GaGa - The Fame" src= "http://web adress etc/images/homebutton.jpg" /></div>

That produces one image in the top part of the header, and I'm trying to get 6 images in there but across vertically. I tried adding the &cells=6 but it came up with an error, and if i copied the same text in as I did before it came up with the same button but below it (vertically).

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated! I've come across the first part of the milestone actually getting it to appear I just can't get 6 small columns across basically!

Many thanks again guys.
