Word Press Issue

[Exclusive5]

Hello on my Word Press site none of the categories are showing up in the header they they show up in the side bar but not the header any ideas on fixing?

Does the theme you have installed support this?

 

[Exclusive5]

yea it does

I think its a feature of the theme you are using. The theme I use only shows categories on the header and not the sidebar. Yours may be just the opposite. Most blogs show their categories only on the sidebar and the pages on the header. So I am not surprised.

You can however edit the header.php file to make the categories show on the header if you so desire. But you need to know php for that.

but the demo to the theme shows the categories in the header and no I dont know PHP yet

I would check to make sure your theme supports the menus, if not you need to check out the header.php/header-default

you got a link to the theme?

its not menus its categories and like I said before on the demo there were categories in the header and the pages wont show up in the header either

there's a line of code in header.php you need to edit.

yep its not supported by default


something like this could be added tho

find something similar to the following in header.php

<ul class="sf-menu">
                <li <?php if (is_home()) { echo 'class="current_page_item"'; } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" title="Categories">Categories</a>
                    <ul>
                        <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
                <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="Subscribe">Subscribe</a></li>
				<?php wp_register('<li>','</li>'); ?>
            </ul>

add something like this instead

<ul id="nav">
                                <li <?php if(is_home()) { echo ' class="current-cat" '; } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
        						<?php wp_list_categories('depth=3&exclude=1&hide_empty=0&orderby=name&show_count=0&use_desc_for_title=1&title_li='); ?>
        					</ul>
                            <?php
                        }
                    ?>
