Deeper drop-down menu

    I’m building a website rather than blog so it will be mainly pages rather than posts so the drop-down menus are important for me. They only seem to drop down to a child page and don’t show grandchild pages. How can I alter the menus so they will “drill down” a few layers?

    And/or – alter the menus so all pages have the top level menu as shown, and child pages also have a menu bar, maybe just under the top level menu bar, that will show grandchild pages.

    Theme I’m trying is F2.

    Thanks.

    (Not sure what version of WP I have. It came with the host package and says update to 2.9 is available, but that didn’t install when I tried to update.)

  • Have a look inside header.php inside your themes folder (wp-content/themes/f2/header.php) for something like:

    wp_list_pages(somestuff here);

    If you find this their might be a depth argument inside the brackets which will limit how deep the list goes. So just remove the depth argument completley in order to get all pages to display.

    However on-top of this it is likley your theme may have only designed your dropdowns to go down one-level from a CSS point of view, so this might need to be altered also, it depends how you wanted it to look exactly!

    Thanks for your quick response.
    That definitely helped: I’ve now got the grandchild pages appearing in the drop down. But not right yet:
    – some of them overlap so they aren’t all visible
    – it isn’t heirarchical (sp?). The child and grandchild pages are in the same block so there’s no indication of which generation they are, nor which child the grandchildren belong to.

    For anyone else looking for the same thing, I’ve found the theme dkret3. It has drop-down menus and you can set how deep to go.

    The theme’s Pages widget is excellent too. You can choose not to have the child pages showing, then when you move to a page with child pages, the list opens up to show that page’s children too.

    Makes for clear and easy navigation.

    Wonder if someone can just answer me as to how to go about making the drop down menu work in f2.

    on my site i have individual pages but its getting cluttered. I’d rather have a top level menu with some of the related pages under it.
