Hi there. I am using the latest 'Hybrid News' child theme and have the dropdown menu that displays the post categories. I need to add some page menu items to it like 'Home' and 'About' to it.
Is this possible and what file(s) and code would I change?
Kind regards, Ian
Thanks for the fast response Thomas.
I added that code to the functions.php file in 'Hybrid News' but it is not displaying the extra menu link.
Is there a certain place I should have added it in? I just pasted it in right after another filter.
This is my file code:
<?php

Hi there. I believe it didn't work because there was already a 'function news_cat_nav'
I got it working by modifying that part instead to this:
echo "\n\t<div id='cat-navigation'>\n\t\t";
echo '<div id="cat-nav" class="cat-nav"><ul class="menu sf-menu"><li><a href="http://www.example.org">Home</a></li><li><a href="http://www.example.org/about/">About</a></li>' . str_replace( array( "\t", "\n", "\r" ), '', wp_list_categories( $args ) ) . '</ul></div>';
echo "\n\t</div>\n";This is fine when just using urls, but in my case if the client changes the url of a page this hardcoded link will break. Also it only displays the top level page and not the sub-pages under it. I could hard code them too, but not ideal as if more pages are added, then they would also need to be added to 'functions.php'.
Fixed by adding in page ID's, it is manual though but gives me control for which pages to display in the category menu.
echo '<div id="cat-nav" class="cat-nav"><ul class="menu sf-menu">';
echo '<li><a href="http://www.example.com">Home</a></li>';
echo str_replace( array( "\t", "\n", "\r" ), '', wp_list_categories( $args ) );
wp_list_pages( array( 'include' => '2,23,60,25,58,81', 'title_li' => false ) ); // Displays About page and it's subpage IDs
echo '</ul></div></div>';You must log in to post.
