I'm working with Dragonfly (firebug like included in Opera) because i'm not a big Firefox fan...firefox is too slow... Thanks a lot for your help.. everything is working and i can go on helgatheviking on "custom Navigation problem" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-navigation-problem#post-14308 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 14:09:38 +0000 helgatheviking 14308@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ sorry missed that part about the version. also there seems to be a float on the .menu a in default.css that is causing the links to line up horizontally. your plugin is adding a .menu to the ul it creates, which then triggers the default.css stylesheet .menu a{ float: none; } if you aren't already, you should try <a href="http://getfirebug.com" rel="nofollow">http://getfirebug.com</a> what about this: <pre><code>function register_my_menu() { register_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) ); } add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' ); function sidebar_menu() { wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu', 'container_id'=>'sidebar-menu', 'menu_class' => 'custom', ) ); } add_action('thematic_abovemainasides','sidebar_menu');</code></pre> for me this adds an unstyled list above the sidebar since i assigned the menu a class of 'custom' which doesn't exist yet in the css. or if you want to look similar to the sidebar styles you could add 'container_class' => 'aside', to the array. rawsta on "custom Navigation problem" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-navigation-problem#post-14307 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:39:32 +0000 rawsta 14307@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I use the latest stable thematic together with the latest wordpress version (see first post) in general i just want to get the Menu to work the way i want it. the Menu-widget is working so far.. i just have the problem the it shows horizontal. But i need it vertical. i'll have a look at the post of Justin Tadlock and hope that i can find some helpful tips there.

If you want more then you need to define them. Here is a great post on everything about the new menus <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus</a> if you know you arent going to use dropdowns, then you might want to filter away the the suckerfish scripts to make your pages a little lighter. there is a post/article on that somewhere on themeshaper. rawsta on "custom Navigation problem" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-navigation-problem#post-14301 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 10:10:31 +0000 rawsta 14301@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ OK... here's the link: <a href="http://www.rawsta.de/richie/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rawsta.de/richie/</a> (child theme) i wanted to use the Custom Navigation (Design -> Menus) feature and added this code to the functions.php <pre><code>add_theme_support( 'menus' ); function child_access_menu() { $menu_sys = 'wp_nav_menu'; return $menu_sys; } add_filter('thematic_menu_type', 'child_access_menu');</code></pre> the field (Theme Location) says :"Your theme supports 1 menu. Select which menu you would like to use." But the Menu doesn't show up.. maybe i did something wrong or forgot something. so i used the "Custom Menu" Widget. I don't think that this widget uses the suckerfish Menu and i don't need dropdowns. I just started to work with Thematic...maybe i just forgot something... helgatheviking on "custom Navigation problem" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-navigation-problem#post-14296 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:39:53 +0000 helgatheviking 14296@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ got a link? what do you mean a theme location won't work? what code are you using? what kind of errors are you getting? you need to provide a lot more info. the suckerfish-style menu is meant to be horizontal. they menu (ul.sf-menu) is made horizontal by floating the li elements. .sf-menu li{ float: left;} if you change that to sf-menu li{ float: none; } they will stack up. however, dropdowns are now mucked up and will require fixing. rawsta on "custom Navigation problem" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-navigation-problem#post-14249 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 21:56:39 +0000 rawsta 14249@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I'm working on an artist page and have a little problem with the new custom navigation (wordpress 3.0.1 + thematic-rev682) I have a Theme Location that not seem to work so i tried the custom-navigation-widget what seem to work fine. but my problem is that all items align horizontal. But i want them vertical. display:block doesn't work any idea what i'm doing wrong ?
