Editing header links

the theme uses a ‘custom menu’ (which you would need to activate under dashboard – appearance – menus; https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Appearance_Menus_Screen ) with the automatic fallback of using just static pages in the menu.
you can add custom links in the custom menu.

the ‘sample page’ will be one of the static pages in the dashboard – pages – all pages

Thank you. I added custom_menu but there are no choices in menu items. I added that name in 3 places (Menus, add menu, custom links) but I don’t see it on my site with no links. Nowhere do I have an option to add this menu under the header.

So, I’m lost. Could you explain in more detail please

If you can’t help, can anyone else? I just want to add links rather than pages

Anyone who can tell me which file to edit so I have links there instead of pages?

Hi SS – you can do the menu things in that screen Appearance > Menu.

Your theme only has ONE menu – but you can put many items in the one menu – sometimes that is confusing.

If you’ve created a menu in the right side box – then select it in the full-down under “Theme Locations”.

Now you can put items in that menu – select the items you want in the boxes on the left side – click add to menu and they’ll show up in the right side box.

For custom Links, use the “custom links” box.

Does that help any?

I am on my tablet so will wait until tomorrow to get into the admin area. Reading your directions seems easy to follow. Thank you. I will post tomorrow night with my results.

Okay, cool. I’ll try to check back on this :).

Ok, I tried with AAAAA and BBBBB as I just wanted to test. They came out on the page where I wanted — but — they are flush to the right. Where/what do I edit to align left? And I see “save” but no delete — do I just edit those somehow or delete totally? If the latter, how?

Thank you SO much for the detailed explanation!

You can click on the menu item on the right side triangle flippy – a drop down gives you the option to delete it.

That theme looks like the menu is aligned to the right – it’s probably possible to change it but you’d need to modify the CSS code – in which case using a Custom CSS plugin would be a good idea.

Can you post a link to your site? It’s much easier to help that way :).

OH it’s greyed out so I thought that triangle was not valid.

If it’s the CSS code, can’t I just edit align=right to align=left? If so, its the code in a separate file in my theme directory or in a file I can edit through the admin?

The site is adult — no pics, just stories — but I don’t want to post it publicly. You understand ??

I gotcha. If you change theme files, they will be overwritten when the theme is updated, so it’s best to make changes in a Custom CSS file – a plugin can easily do that like Custom CSS manager. then yes, you can use Firebug or another browser tool to find the CSS that you would need to change to move the menu. Looks like this would do it – change the right to left:

#menu ul {
    float: right;
    width: auto;
}

That plugin messed with WP so I decided to change to a similar theme. I manually changed the CSS file and now it begins on the left as I wanted.

Thank you ??
