Thematic is blameless. :) I was messing with $query to limit the categories appearing on the home page, like this: <blockquote><code> function child_filter_exclude_category ( $query ) { if ( $query->is_feed || $query->is_home ) { $query->set( 'cat', '3' ); // include only category 3 = News } return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'child_filter_exclude_category'); </code></blockquote> That was the problem, and I found a better way... on this forum, of course. <a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/filtering-one-category-from-index-loop#post-14812" rel="nofollow">http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/filtering-one-category-from-index-loop#post-14812</a> Cheers, --Alex agentOOjoe on "Thematic & Buddymatic - RoadMap, Support" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-038-buddymatic-roadmap-support#post-15290 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:56:54 +0000 agentOOjoe 15290@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I am also wondering if the newest Thematic currently supports Buddypress out of the box.

Started with a "clean slate" child theme on a scratch site and sure enough, as Gene has mentioned elsewhere, only needed this in my functions.php to get Custom Menu working as hoped! <code> function child_access_menu() { $menu_sys = 'wp_nav_menu'; return $menu_sys; } add_filter('thematic_menu_type', 'child_access_menu'); </code> But then I tried the same thing in my original child theme, and no joy. The main menu area remains empty. When I activate stock Thematic 0.9.7.4 on this install, the Custom Menu widget renders correctly in the sidebar. But when I switch back to my child theme, this is no longer true -- the widget is empty. I've removed all other menu-related add_filter() and add_action() statements. I've tried re-saving the Menu, and both reset buttons in Thematic Options. Both themes say they "support 1 menu" in Appearance > Menus. It still seems like something in the data is messing this up. Is there some trick I'm missing? Mustn't the Custom Menu widget be working before there is any hope of getting the same menu to appear in div#access?

I already removed it from the current SVN copy. Here's the answer from Andrew Nacin regarding the question if a theme needs this call in the functions.php: <blockquote> This is incorrect. add_theme_support('menus') is an internal process only. *It should never be directly called.* Instead, the theme should be calling register_nav_menu(s) which will trigger add_theme_support('menus') internally. Likewise, add_theme_support('widgets') is internal only. The theme should only be calling register_sidebar(s). </blockquote> Chris em hr on "Call Specific Menu to top of Screen" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/call-specific-menu-to-top-of-screen#post-14023 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:36:40 +0000 em hr 14023@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Scott, Explaining this is semantically difficult. thematic_init_navmenu() only registers a theme menu location. This location is named the "Primary Menu" and is the one used by thematic_access() if a custom menu has been created and assigned to it using WP-dmin>Appearance>Menus>Theme Locations The "Theme Location" input box does not even appear on the WP-Admin>Appearance>Menus screen until you have created a menu. So if you have not created at least one custom menu in the admin, you should so that you see what I'm talking about. If you have registered more menu locations in your child theme and later hooked them into Thematic or called them from your templates, then you can make as many menus as you like and put them in whatever "Theme Location" you like using the admin. So in answer to: "how do we designate a specific menu for that location"? You do so by creating menus and using WP-Admin>Appearance>Menus>Theme Locations to connect the desired menu to your desired menu location. and "how can we make certain it is the menu named "primary" that appears in that position"? Assuming you have a function like this one included in you child theme's functions.php: <pre><code>function child_access_navmenu() { return "wp_nav_menu"; } add_filter('thematic_menu_type', 'child_access_navmenu');</code></pre> Then whatever menu you assign to the "Primary Menu" location in Thematic will show up wherever <code>thematic_access()</code> is hooked or re-hooked as it may be. -Gene Robo on "Call Specific Menu to top of Screen" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/call-specific-menu-to-top-of-screen#post-14014 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:23:48 +0000 Robo 14014@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ This seems to work for me to use the custom menu: // Remove Thematic Access function remove_thematic_actions() { remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9); } add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions'); function my_menu() { /* display the custom menu -- struth, it works!!! */ wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Custom Menu' )); } add_action('thematic_header', 'my_menu', 9); sfrangos on "Call Specific Menu to top of Screen" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/call-specific-menu-to-top-of-screen#post-14003 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:10:49 +0000 sfrangos 14003@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi - Thanks for the replies.

You know where the child theme calls which menu and what you have to create in the backend. If you create a child theme for the masses you have to use register_nav_menu(). This function creates a 'location'. This would be something like register_nav_menu( 'main-menu', __( 'Main Menu' ) ). A location called 'Main Menu' is created in the backend. You still need to define as described above, where this menu is located. Now the user can create a menu and select it for this one location. Creating specific menus that are based on conditional tags is possible too: <pre><code>register_nav_menu( 'main-menu-home', __( 'Main Menu - Home' ) ); register_nav_menu( 'main-menu-page', __( 'Main Menu - Page' ) ); register_nav_menu( 'main-menu-post', __( 'Main Menu - Post' ) );</code></pre> Yes .. this can be done with one call and an array ;) Now the code for switching the menus: <pre><code>function switch_menu( $args ) { if (is_single()) { $args[ 'menu' ] = 'main-menu-post'; } elseif (is_page()) { $args[ 'menu' ] = 'main-menu-page'; } else { // Using this as a fallback for everything else $args[ 'menu' ] = 'main-menu-home'; } return $args; } add_filter( 'thematic_nav_menu_args', 'switch_menu' );</code></pre> Let me know, if you need more help.
