Thanks anyway.

It's totally minor, but I would like it to appear there not as arcticprogress but as "Arctic Progress", i.e. with space breaks and capitals. How do I do that?

Thanks.

Here’s a link to a custom menu walk-through > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/11/wordpress-com-custom-menu-walk-through/

There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

Add a Custom Link and set the URL as #. Using # will prevent the page from refreshing when you select the tab.

awesome.

Cheers, the tip about the drop-down menu help. It was what I was looking for.

Is there some way of making the topmost menu-item (the parent) do nothing, like a blank link...

To create a categories menu I now added a link (to the home page) called it "categories" and I then added all my categories as submenu-items. However, the parent menu Item is a link. Can I make it something else? Just text? ..

Thanks, Eirik

You should see a Categories panel on the Custom Menu screen.

If you don't see the Categories panel, you can click on the Screen Options tab in the upper right and there is a checkbox to enable the Categories panel.

If you want to create a drop-down menu, you need to create sub-menu items by following the instructions here.

I hope this helps!

In the description of "the columnist"- theme, it says:

The Columnist provides a single navigation menu which displays at the top of your site. This menu will support any level of dropdowns and can be configured by visiting the Appearance

When I try to manage the menu it says:

Your theme supports 1 menu. Select which menu you would like to use.

I can only add links, pages and posts to my menu. How can I get change this behaviour?

I would for instance like to add a menu item Categories with a drop down of all categories..

Cheers,
Eirik

I believe this person had the same problem, and it was some kind of bug...is this correct?

The bug mentioned in that thread was marked as resolved. It's possible that it snuck back in, but I tested the menu for http://manifestdemo.wordpress.com/ with IE9 and it worked for me without any troubles.

It also appears you've changed themes and you're using Chateau now. I'm going to mark this thread as resolved since there have been so many changes by the time I got to it. If you need further help, please start a new thread. Thanks!

I only put it in the "Theme" forum because the other person having a similar problem (the post I linked to above) posted in the Theme forum, and their problem seemed to be resolved there. Sorry!

I've been happy with my Manifest blog (with custom upgrade) for some time, but am running into a problem creating dropdown subpages under my menu 'tab' pages.

As it is right now, I have 6 'tab' pages in my menu, running left to right under my header. I want to add (2) subpages under the last of these pages (the "Engagement" tab). I've done this following the usual instructions of creating a two new pages (I've called them "Subpage" and "Subpage 2" for now), nesting it under "Engagement" in the Appearance--> Menus dashboard page, and clicking save.

It has made these subpages just fine, except that it displays them horizontally across the page, not as a dropdown menu, making it impossible to click if you are hovering over the main menu Engagement tab because they are so far to the left. If you are on already on the Engagement tab they remain visible even if you are not hovering so you can click on them then.

However, this is happening for me in Chrome and Firefox, not just IE. Can anyone help with this?

Two questions:

1. How to I make my subpages appear vertically directly under the main menu tab page, like a standard drop-down menu, when hovering over that tab?

2. How do I make it so when you are on the Engagement page, the drop down menu options (Subpage and Subpage 2) are only visible when hovering over that tab?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help!

Older pages are still vulnerable to a positive click on this top menu which activates the hotlink in the page behind it.

So thanks to the ghost in the machine!

When you have a WP post on screen and you quickly want its shortlink, you hover over the name of your blog in the topmost dark grey toolbar to reveal a dropdown menu. More than halfway down is the word SHORTLINK and beside it the relevant code. In order to select this code and copy it requires you to click on the code. However because the dropdown is transparent, and the particular position of this code is directly over the banner heading of your blog, you actually click straight through to the live banner. This immediately loads the home page and you've lost the chosen page you had just been viewing.

To effectively select the shortlink code, requires the most delicate of pressure *and timing* to catch it before the click activates the banner behind the dropdown! It's a fine art, but couldn't this tricky action be made 100% effective if the dropdown was not transparent?
