Menu Customisation – Urgent

Hi,

Simplest way is use the the home link before you pages list:

<ul>
<li><a href="<?php get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>

Vishal,

Firstly, as far as I’ve tried whenever using <li> or </li>I get errors related to them.

Along with this, I am wanting to hide the “Home” on any of my Home Pages. But still show it on the Sub Pages.

I’m thinking something along the lines of an if statement to load either my first, or second menu dependant on which page they’re on.

If they’re on page one for example then Menu 1 is loaded, however page 2 loads Menu 2.

What is the error you are getting.

Use if(!is_home()) for show the home on other pages only.

Thanks

How would you structure that then Vishal?

I’m trying to include the if(!is_home()) somewhere in the code I showed above, and I just displays the entire menu i’ve got.

Edit:

I’m getting the following error using your suggestion:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in [directorylistings]/header.php on line 94

Use this

<div id="menu" class="alignleft">
 <?php if( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') && has_nav_menu('primary'))
   {
      wp_nav_menu( array('menu_id'=> '','container'=>''));
   }
       else {
            echo '<ul>';
	     if(!is_home()) echo "<li><a href=".get_settings('home').">Home</a></li>";
           wp_list_pages('title_li=');
           echo '</ul>';
            }
  ?>
</div>

Thanks Vishal,

The menu is appearing as it was originally, but it appears that it isn’t hiding the Home Page link at all.

It seems as if the if(!is_home()) isn’t working or doing its job properly. It shows on all the child pages as intended, but still shows on the Home Page.

Would is_page(‘x’) work better?

Yes you can use is_page(), add page by id, page name.

check this : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/is_page

Do you suspect that there is a spelling error within it however? I’ve just noticed my coding program is colouring Home as if something isn’t closed.

Could you check the: .get_settings(‘home’). section as fully intentional, I’ve not used .get_settings before

Use get_option(‘home’)

and check this for reference
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_option

Doesn’t appear to work, despite my best effort I still get either errors or the Home Page isn’t showing.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in [directorylistings]/header.php on line 98

post you header file code

New Error after some changes:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in [directorylistings]/header.php on line 96

Here is the entire chunk of code I am using:

<div id="menu" class="alignleft">
 <?php if( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') && has_nav_menu('primary'))
   {
      wp_nav_menu( array('menu_id'=> '','container'=>''));
   }
       else {
            echo '<ul>';
	     if(!is_home())
	     	<li><a href="get_option('home')">Home</a></li>;
           wp_list_pages('title_li=');
           echo '</ul>';
            }
  ?>
</div>

Replace with this, you are making wrong syntax.

<div id="menu" class="alignleft">
 <?php if( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') && has_nav_menu('primary'))
   {
      wp_nav_menu( array('menu_id'=> '','container'=>''));
   }
       else {
            echo '<ul>';
	     if(!is_home())
	     	echo "<li><a href=".get_option('home').">Home</a></li>";
           wp_list_pages('title_li=');
           echo '</ul>';
            }
  ?>
</div>

Still isn’t working.

As you can see in this image (https://i.imgur.com/XPdW3.jpg) the ('home').">Home</a></li>"; appears to be coloured, as if something isn’t closed or working.

I am thankful for you assistance so far, and I appreciate all the help. I’ve never encountered these issues before : /

In the line 95, according to your image, remove the semi-colon and blank space after closing bracket tag. This is the starting of if statement. Check the code i give above.
