How do I edit my Menus?

So digging some more, I have found this code in my header.php file

<div id="wrapper">
		<div id="header">
			<div id="logo"><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>"><img src="<?php echo sf_get_logo(); ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php bloginfo('description') ?>"/></a></div>
			<div id="pagenav">
				<ul class="sf-menu" id="nav">
					<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
				</ul>
			</div>
		</div>

I think what I need to do is replace the wp_list_pages function with the elements I have specified in a custom nav. (Yes?)

Does anyone know where these custom nav elements are? Or what I would replace the wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’) with to replace the listing of pages with the custom nav items?

Thanks in advance for hour help.

You don’t have to touch the code in order to change what shows up in your nav menu. You just need to head into Appearance -> Menus

There, you can slip any links & text you want to show up.

Hey Zamphatta.

Thanks for your response. Actually my problem is whenever I add new pages they always end up in my top / bottom nav menu automatically. I am unclear about how to add new pages and NOT include them in the nav.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for your help.

Try creating custom menus.

Thanks esmi. I read all the documentation and I think I am close, but I am still struggling just a bit.

I added this to my functions.php file

/* Register Functions - Added to original theme */
		function register_my_menus() {
 			register_nav_menus(
    				array('header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' ) )
  			);
		}
		add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

And in my header.php file I replaced this:

<div id="pagenav">
				<ul class="sf-menu" id="nav">
					<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
				</ul>
			</div>

with this:

<div id="pagenav">

					<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu' ) ); ?>

			</div>

When I do this I can now WHICH menu shows up (YEAH!!!!). But now the formatting is a bit screwed up. The menu is stacked on the far right and I have lost the original formatting.

If I don’t remove the <ul class="sf-menu" id="nav"> line the entire menu is missing. Clearly this is playing an important role in the formatting, but I haven’t quite figured out what the conflict is.

I am close. Thanks again so much for your help.

Do you have any thoughts on how I can recover the original formatting?

You can try with the following:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘theme_location’ => ‘header-menu’,
‘menu_class’ => ‘sf-menu’, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’
) ); ?>

Please take a look at this to configure the menu:

Success!!

Thank you!
