My drop down menus are not showing up in WP. How do I make them work? Thanks for the help.

Do you have pages saved and pages saved under them as parent pages. If you do and your not displaying subpages then maybe you exported the theme without setting the page levels to the menu bar. In the menu options you can set the levels to be single or multi-level.

Hi Bob,
I have no idea what your talking about. As far as I can see, when I use a template I cannot work with the tabs to make paths to pages. I'm not getting how to use those tabs except for design purposes. Is there a manual, or tutorials available?

Thanks for your help.

I've found some tutorials with what I think is coding for the menus, but the tutorials do not say where to put this coding. Could someone help me with this? Thanks.

<ul class="artmenu">
<!-- Start Solutions Menu Item-->
<li><a href="#">Solutions</span></a>
<!-- Start Solutions Sub-menu -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Consulting</a>
<!-- /** Start Consulting Child-menu **\ -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Child-menu 1</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">Child-menu 2</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">Child-menu 3</a> </li>
</ul>

What I am saying has nothing to do with the theme. In WordPress itself you create and publish a page and it should appear in your menu bar. The menu bar generated in Artisteer will automatically display a tab with the title of a page you create in WordPress. A Page. Not a Post.

You need to check two things:

1- Go to menu tab while designing your theme and select multilevel "menu->sub items->level->multilevel"

2- You need to create pages in your wordpress admin in order to start displaying them in your men bar. Go to pages tab(on wordpress admin) on your left, add new page, then create a new page and select the page already created as its parent from a drop down on your right, create few parent and their child pages as I suggested and it is done.
