Will someone help? I 'm trying to add more subtitles to my menu bar by editing the navigation.php area. I can not find it on my blog and am wondering how to add that to my theme.

Thanks ahead for your help.

If you just want to add your wordpress pages to your navigation bar use template tag: wp_list_pages('arguments'); ?>

If your navigation menu is already displaying some pages but you want so additional pages you should create some pages by visiting pages->add new on your wordpress admin(Their title will start showing in navigation bar).

I would like to exclude certain pages from my menu bar, but I can't find the navigation.php file. I'm assuming it's incorporated into the functions.php. I am using the newest version of Artisteer. Any suggestions?

I am also trying to change my navigation. I want to add outside links and change the 'home' link to say 'blog' And I can't find where to do these changes at in the code.

Note: This isn't about making new wordpress pages for me, I want to link it to my home site in the navigation menu.

my site: www.emilyrosetheartist.com
my blog: blog.emilyrosetheartist.com

will send my cade to anyone if that will help

You just need a couple of plug-ins.

Page-links-to will allow you to create a page who's title will automatically be added to the menu but the menu can link to anywhere, even outside your site. The page will be blank but the menu item will have a link.

Exclude-pages will allow you to have pages that don't show up on the menu.

Page-mash will allow you to re-arrange the order of the menus including child pages.

These all work great with Artisteer.

Wordpress themes doesn't contain navigation.php, but the navigation code is contained in header.php

Try adding like following to your navigation code and styling it with navigation css:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/?page_id=380"
where page id=380 is your new page

To point home(if your site is in wordpress) to your blog add like following to your navigation: <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/">
(change home to URL)

Bud,

Th Page-links-to and the pagemash plugins workd great for me to add in the necessary links, but I still cant get rid of or change the 'home' link for WP (that WP puts on automatically) I now have 2 buttons that say home, and I need one to say blog (and point to my blog.emilyrosetheartist.com) and the 1st home link needs to point to (www.emilyrosetheartist.com)

so it would be thus:

Home (points to www.emilyrosetheartist.com
Blog (points to blog.emilyrosetheartist.com (or) www.emilyrosetheartist.com/blog)
and about (which is pointing just fine to the about page)

is there a plug in for this, or a manual way to change the code?

----

Garry,

I tried to input those tips and I just came back with errors or nothing happened, I ended up changing the link on the part that says (emily rose's blog) to point to www.emilyosetheartist.com but i tried in the place where it says artmenuitems, and it didnt help.

Thanks
Emily

I finally found out hw to get rid of th WP Home link.

go into the functions.php file

scroll down to (way towards the bottom):

Home
EOD;
$showHomeMenuItem = true;
$isHomeSelected = null;


and change to


Home
EOD;
$showHomeMenuItem = null;
$isHomeSelected = null;



change true to null and it takes it away!

Now I can just make all my own links with the 'pagemash' and 'link-page-to' plug-ins instead!

thanks
