where do i start?

[nvisibl]

excuse me please i’m not sure where to begin in setting this up for my theme
http://www.transformingscotland.com

i’m looking to achieve a drop down menu system on all pages
i’ve activated the plugin but i’m not sure what to do next?

thanks for your help

[imported_Ryan]

The instructions are here:

[nvisibl]

thanks dude

[nvisibl]

got it… looks good

how best can i integrate it into my existing theme?

[imported_Ryan]

There is no way to answer that question beyond what is in the instructions, as all themes are different.

[nvisibl]

thanks ryan
do you mean the instruction to put within the header
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘pixopoint_menu’ ) ) {pixopoint_menu();} ?>

i’ve done that and the menu appears graphically outwith my header running along the very top of the page

do you have any advice on how i can have it where my current category items are just now below the logo text within my header?

[nvisibl]

excuse me, i see the part about the DIV tags… i’ll give it a go

[nvisibl]

hi ryan, i’ve placed the code into my header.php and the menu shows up good but needs a bit of tweaking, can you please advise?

[b:2t2eci7k]header.php[/b:2t2eci7k]
[quote:2t2eci7k]<?php if ( function_exists( ‘pixopoint_menu’ ) ) {pixopoint_menu();} ?>

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container" class="container"> 
<div class="span-24">
<div class="span-16">

<div id="pagemenucontainer">

<ul id="pagemenu">

<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>

<li <?php if(is_home()) { ?> class="current_page_item" <?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/">Home</a></li>

<!–

<?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’ ); ?>

–>

</ul>

[imported_Ryan]

It appears to be working as expected. Is there something you are not happy with?

[nvisibl]

i notice the menu is duplicated both within my header and above it running along the top of the webpage? can i somehow remove the one on top?

[imported_Ryan]

You added the one on top via the following code:
[code:2lv8dhez]<?php if ( function_exists( ‘pixopoint_menu’ ) ) {pixopoint_menu();} ?> [/code:2lv8dhez]

The other one is generated via wp_page_menu() which is added because you have the auto-theme-support box checked on the admin page.

[nvisibl]

excellent, good job ryan.. and thanks

would you have an idea how i could place the menu beneath my logo, where the categories are currently? so to swap placement of the menu and categories

[imported_Ryan]

Just replace the existing menu you have there with pixopoint_menu() and it should automatically appear.

[nvisibl]

super!

[nvisibl]

i notice when i add a new page in wordpress it doesn’t sit right within the menu… you’ll see what mean with the ‘events’ page i’ve just added. can you give any insight please?

http://www.transformingscotland.com

i just notice too using firefox that the site page and menu is completely misaligned
i don’t think i can fix this……  can this be resolved easily or is there lots of work and troubleshooting required?
