I am a new user using atahualpa 3.6.7. Installed everything 3 weeks ago.

I have added categories and sub categories to the menu baar, but no matter what I do they sub categories do not show up on the main menu bar as a drop down to the main category. I have made two dummy posts and put them under categories and sub categories and the cats show up under the posts, but still nothing on the menu bar for any child categories. I do have them under parent categories in the menu.

Someone suggested I switch to twenty eleven to do this portion, I tried it and it totally did not show any categories on the menu bar at all on that theme with no other changes.

I don't know what I am doing wrong as I have googled, followed tutorials, etc and still no drop down menu.

If I add %bar2 to the header area I can then see the subcats, however its in a different bar without the pages. Hoping this clue will trigger something.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thank you in advance

Oh, and I am a true newbie...

It looks like you don't have the 3.6.7 PATCHES applied. Here are the links.

• PATCH 367-01: Odd effects when 'CSS: Compress' = 'Yes'
• PATCH 367-02 is incorporated in PATCH 367-04
• PATCH 367-03: PHP errors when adding widget areas in index.php
• PATCH 367-04: Hovering over a Post/Page title only shows "Permanent Link to"
• PATCH 367-05: Site Title appended after the 'WordPress SEO by Yoast' title

or you could upgrade to 3.7.1

thanks for the quick response. I did the quickest thing first which was to upgrade to 3.7.1. That changed nothing. So I guess I am going to have to figure out how to do the patches. If they don't work I will post back.

Greatly appreciate your help and input

3.7.1 doesn't need any patches. That is just the first thing to do if using 3.6.7.

Are you using the Atahualpa menus or the WordPress menu in Appearance>Menus?

If using the Atahualpa menus you would have to add the %cat manu to see the cats and sub cats.

Thanks so much for both of your help. After I upgraded to 3.7.1 I added %CATS to the edit header menu and I get a second menu nav bar of different colors with just some of the CATS in it. They have the drop down menu in them, however no pages in that second bar. My hubby says I should scrap everything and start from scratch. Don't know if that would help.

I am not a programmer and am using the atahualpa menu.

I have left what happens when I ad %cats to the header menu where %pages is.

If you are using the Atahualpa auto generated menu and add '%cats' to the 'Configure Header Area' option, Then Atahualpa will add a menu bar with a list of each category that you have defined and added to a post. There are no 'pages' just a multi post page of the posts in that category.
