Hello,

How can I add a link to an external page in the menu bar ?

Thanks,

Mike

go to dashboard->appearances->menus and create your own custom menu and you can add a link.

For more information about the WordPress custom menu's look at WordPress.org and or do a google search

Hello,

I really appreciate your help. Before I post here I have already posted at wordpress.org (gotten no help) and have tried to figure out the problem myself. I also attempt searches of the forum here to see if the question has already been answered. Posting here is basically my last resort.

In Dashboard>Appearances>Menus I have created a new menu and saved it. If I activate it then the menu bar has ONLY the new menu I created and the other menus disappear. If I create a new Custom Link (URL and Label) and save it...nothing happens. It does not appear anywhere. All I want to do is a a simply link to the menu bar to an external page.

I am not sure how much of Atahualpa is controlled by its extensive control sand how much is controlled by the WP Dashboard.

Thanks,

Mike

Atahualpa can automatically create a menu listing all your pages. If you want to add a item to it, you have to edit the theme code to do it.

WordPress allows you to create a 'custom' menu. You can arrange the items anyway you want. put a category as a child of one of your pages. You can create custom links and add them to your custom menu - REMEMBER to hit SAVE after doing this to save the new menu item as a item of your custom menu

you them name your menu in the 'Theme Location' option and 'Menu 1' will show up where you use the '%pages' option in the Atahualpa 'Configure header Area' option - 'Menu 2' relates to the '%cats' item

Which php document do I edit to add a link? The WP Dashboard control is not working with Atahualpa...its either me or Atahualpa but I cannot get it to add a menu (link) to the menu bar.

Hello again,

I will reiterate that the WP Dashboard>Appearances>Menus controls DO NOT work with Atahualpa...Any attempt to add a new menu makes the Atahualpa menu bar disappear completely. The steps I take are to create and save a new menu then assign it to a Menu (1 or 2). When assigned to menu 1 the Atahualpa menu disappears, when assigned to menu 2 nothing happens. I am pressing the save buttons of course.

I just need to add a simple link (not even a menu) to the menu barto an external web page. Why is it so difficult to do something so simple? I would think that with all of its controls Atahualpa would have a place where a user could a link to the menu bar.

Thanks,

Mike
