Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Ha! The menu-builder is even better as I thought. If you press screen options you can add a variety of stuff to build your menu on, tags, custom taxonomies and even posts. Time to dig in into the WordPress codex to find some more gems.

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Must menus be rebuilt using WP3.0 upgraded tool? Other info?

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Yes, that's the plan. And it's great.

Categories, links, custom links, pages, posts, tags, custom taxonomies. I love it.

<s>However it appears the only option is to put the custom menu in the sidebar at the moment. That... is not really good. Will have to wait for update?</s>

Strike that, works like a charm.

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Heh. Yeah. It will automatically be inserted in the right spot. Too bad it gives that notice there isn't place for it. In Arras Theme 1.4.4 or New Name Theme 1.5 it will be fixed IIRC.

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Awesome. I always liked the arras menu system, except that by going category/link route it could not be ordered without changing the labels/links. So this is a nice compliment.

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Follow this revision to allow WordPress to assign menus to the main navigation:
http://code.google.com/p/arras-theme/so … tail?r=361

Basically, in header.php, replace:

wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix') );

with:

wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix', 'theme_location' => 'main-menu') );

In /library/launcher.php, add this at the end of the file:

if ( function_exists('register_nav_menus') ) {
             register_nav_menus(array(
                 'main-menu'    => __('Main Menu', 'arras')
             ));
}

}

Is that needed? Seems to work fine for me thus far...

That way it won't give the notice.

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

I had my pages show in the horizontal navbar (with parent & child pages), I upgraded to WP 3.0 and they disappeared. I tried to create a menu with the new menu feature (appearance-> menu) but it only shows one page at the time (I created 3 to see how it would be displayed  "work", "about" and "in the press" and only one will show, the first one created)

Any ideas what to do to get the pages to all show in the navbar? Thanks!!

Re: [CONSOLIDATED] Menus in WordPress 3.0

Hi there,

I got the menu to work via Appearance>Menu but the SUB menu's do not show up on the main page as "Sub menu's". They show up right next to the parent menu name. And yes, when I set them on the Menu page I make sure it is inset like the above posts mentioned. Is anyone else running into this problem?

Thanks

UPDATE. It does allow me to create a menu and it shows up correctly on my site but I still get that message in the dashboard.

Hi Krom8,
We chatted last week. Thanks for the tip on fixing my background (www.womanafrique.com). I had to upgrade to arras 1.4.3.1. to do that. Now am having this current problem after upgrading to wp 3.0, my top nav vanished and so i used the wp-pagenavi plugin. Problem is, it does not do drop-downs, nor does it show my HOME as the first menu item anymore. If i have to, I will activate that plugin for now, but how do i get back my drop-downs, and my HOME link? As usual, thanks for any help.

To continue using the current menu you have, look in the header file and comment out code like this:

/*
    if ( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') ) {
        wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix') );
    } elseif ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
*/
    if ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
        pixopoint_menu();


Fixed it for me

I also was worried that I didn't see the page navigation at the top of my blog after updating to the new wordpress. The answer above is correct you need to add a menu even though it says theme doesn't support it it will work as discribed above.
