@wpbeginner If you’ve outgrown your name, you should change it to suit the audience you seem to prefer. Consider consulting a professional.

@f1mktsol Yes and the site has grown beyond the audience we initially started with. This site has evolved. That is why we have categories… The word “beginner” is being used on a relative scale.

We have articles for Very Newbies who are just users in our Beginners Guide Category… We also have articles in our WordPress plugins category that are catered to that audience.If you are in our WP Themes category, then the articles are written for beginning theme developers. They are beginners in the developer area. Same with the tutorials.

Hope that explains it.

@wpbeginner@BanyanTree You don’t need to link to articles, no one asked for that. Three words answers his question; “at the end,” which is easier to type than a snide remark. Keep in mind, you named your site; “wpbeginner,” and if that’s the audience you seek, cater accordingly.

@BanyanTree Adding codes to functions.php file is not that hard. You paste it within the php tags. We have written an articles like this:http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-pasting-snippets-from-the-web-into-wordpress/But its just impossible to link to that one article from all of our articles. When someone asks you how do I change the background in CSS and you tell them that you add background: #000 or another hexcode in the CSS property thats help enough.Now if they ask where in the CSS file I paste that, then that is something you need to know before hands. This site is not a PHP for Dummies site or CSS for dummies site. We do our best to help as much people as possible for FREE.

If you are going to write articles for newbies, it follows you should answer simple questions. Otherwise, just pay for ads to push your business and save the pretense.

I have followed the instructions and this post and the post here (http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/adding-a-second-menu-to-the-twenty-ten-theme/), and figured out how to get my CSS to make the menu appear correctly, but the child items (sub menu items) are not appearing. I have them set up correctly in the menus editor, but on the site they do not show. They are not hidden by CSS because they are not there in the source code of the page.

Any ideas why my menu sub-items are not showing?

Hi,

I have added the custom menu in top navigation but want to know how can I active the “Current Page Class”.

I’m using WordPress 3.2

Thanks

Thank you! Love how this is all dynamic so the client can edit if needed, plus able to state which is the current page and apply hover effect! EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I have tried this many times. I have an old wordpress theme. So old I’m not even sure what version of wrodpress it was written for. Anyway, I can get the functions part to work. I can save the correct menu. I can put the code into other parts of my website, say the footer, although it displays as a hierarchy list and not horizontally.

Won’t display in the top nav menu. Do I need a new theme or is it possible to edit my current theme to allow the new menu function?

Thanks in advance. The website is http://www.asharperrazor.com

I implemented this with NO problems-thank you! I took the “nav menu” code and put it in the div where my client’s theme was calling the list of pages. I basically replaced it with your code from above and uploaded it, and the css kept it in the same style. It looks great and functions perfectly. AWESOME!
