Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on a test setup of the newscast theme and a couple of questions/problems showed up:

1. How does is work to make only pages show up in the first navigation line (the one with black background) and only show category links in the second navigation line (with the grey background)? I'm reffering to the demo setup on http://www.kriesi.at/themes/newscast/

2. How are the dropdown menus created? I created cats with subcats etc., searched the documentation and all but couldnt find any solution.

Help would be much appreciated!

Cheers from Germany!

Ah yes I have the very same issue, I can only create 1 menu? I'd like a different menu with the drop down text for the top (small text) menu but can't figure it out. The options say the design only supports 1 menu?

Just create two menus in the menu editor under appearance > menu. You can add categories, posts, pages and links to the menus. Call the first menu "First" and the second menu "Second" and everything will work fine.

Hi Dude! Thanx for the quick help. It worked for the issue about the menus. What i still cant figure out is how the dropdowns are created. Pages with parents dont create dropdown, cats with subcats dont ether. Any ideas???

You need to drag'n'drop the item which should appear as a sub menu item to the right side of a main menu item. So click on an item and move it near the main menu item (parent). Wordpress then "links" these two items as parent and child

You need to set child pages in your post/page editor. There you can select if a page should appear as a mainpage or as a subpage of another page. This option is located on the right sidebar in the post/page editor

Thanx for your reply Dude. But it didnt work. I have sorted my pages into main page and subcategories pages but my top menu only shows main pages.
Maybe my theme is corrupted?
Using this code:

<ul id="nav" class="clearfloat">
/" class="on">Home

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
<li class="cat-item">Categories
<ul class="children">
<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
$this_category = get_category($cat);
if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
echo "

It works but it shows pages that i want to exclude and i cant use class: current_page_item.

Any other idea?

Thnx in advance.
