If you have no posts in your Wordpress installation, then you won't see any categories.

Hi Carlos,

The top menu in WordPress is built using the list of your WP pages. So if you don't have a page called "Categories ", then you won't see "Categories " tab in the top menu.

The texts on menu tabs in Artisteer (as well as any other content on Artisteer page) are provided just as an example for you to see how the live page with content can look like. But the real content is added to the page in CMS (WordPress).

Hope, it clarified the issue.

Caroline.

How can I make a page be linked from subItem in WP? I'm not sure where to define that...

A sub item, like a a sub page?

You would need to create the page and assign it to a 'parent' page.

This is done in the WRITING/PAGE editor. Scroll down below the page content to the page options and look for PARENT. Assign the page you are writing to a parent page.

Marc, have you got an answer to Jame's question ? I'm confronted to the same problem. I'd like to see Categories show up in the header menu or top menu and I can't find a way to do that... Idem for archives...
Thanks for your help.
Take care.

Categories is not a Page.

Only pages appear in the default menu bar that Artisteer creates.

If you want to add categories, search this forum as some users have had some success in doing this. It will involve editing PHP files, so you should be familiar with doing that before you start.

If you want to create a Page to display posts from certain category, you can use this simple method, which works magically for me :

Create a new page, in HTML mode, put in this code :

<?
Header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
Header("Location:http://www.yourblog.com/category/categoryname");
?>

You need Exec-php plugin for this page to work. You can get in from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/

You can get your blog category url link by visiting your category, and then the url link will show in the Address URL.
