add pages to menu not under a parent item

  • I think I’m misunderstanding this plugin. It’s so close to doing what I need it to do.

    I created a menu called Attorney.

    I have a CPT called Attorney Pages.

    I want to automatically add each new Attorney Page as a top-level to the Attorney menu

    Hi James,
    that sounds about right. What is happening? Can you see the Attorney menu in the settings?

    I can see the menu in Appearance > Menus if that’s what you’re asking.

    What’s happening is new Attorney pages are not being added to the Attorney menu unless I choose to place them under a parent item.

    I don’t want them to be under a parent item, I just want to automatically populate the menu with new Attorney pages

    Gotcha. They have to live under a parent item. So you would have a menu called ‘Attorney’, and page called ‘Attorneys’ and then the custom post types would appear under there. 

    (ATTORNEY MENU)
  ATTORNEYS
    ATTORNEY PAGE
    ATTORNEY PAGE

    shoot, that’s not helpful =/ I can’t even think of a scenario where I would want that extra empty menu item in there.

    No there is no empty menu item. If the only thing in your menu is Attorney pages, then you would have a menu that consists of the parent page, which would list all the attorney pages.

    If you think of it with a normal navigation menu, it would just be something like:

    HOME | ABOUT | CONTACT | ATTORNEYS

    Something like that.

    If the menu is just for Attorneys, and nothing else, you still have to have a page that is the main page.

    ATTORNEYS
    – Attorney page
    – Attorney page
    – Attorney page

    Hope that makes sense.
