Hi, apologies if this question has been answered. I've search but couldn't find a resolution, or whatever discussed was beyond my technical capability.
Is there a way to restrict the depth of the menu in Thematic. I only want to show the pages under the parent pages, not the next page down.
About (Y)
--Blah page (Y)
----Blah page (N)
I guess this means I just want to show two levels.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason. Try putting this in your child theme functions.php file:
// Add a dynamic menu using wp_list_pages
function childtheme_menu() { ?>
<div class="menu">
<ul class="sf-menu">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2'); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('wp_page_menu','childtheme_menu');The WordPress codex for this function is here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages.
I wrote a post about filter functions for the menu on my site: http://wordpresstheming.com/2009/11/filter-menus-in-thematic/

Hi Devin
I found your Filter Menus in Thematic extremely helpful. Also
Useful Thematic Filters was great. Agree that "the learning curve on Thematic is a bit steep if you’ve never used filters and hooks before". Please keep them coming.

I have this code in my functions.php file
// We will build our custom menu first
// Remove the default Thematic Access
function remove_thematic_actions() {
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
}
add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions');
// Recreate the Thematic Access with menu-primary and menu-secondary
function childtheme_page_menu() { ?>
<div id="access">
<div class="skip-link">
<a href="#content" title="<?php _e('Skip navigation to the content', 'thematic'); ?>"><?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></a>
</div>
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1&exclude=36,37,39,41,44,46,48&menu_class=menu menu-primary'); ?>
<div class="menu menu-secondary">
<ul>
<!--<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=36,37'); ?> Can be removed from here -->
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_header','childtheme_page_menu','9');
// Add a drop down sub menu
function childtheme_category_menu() { ?>
<div id="category-access">
<div id="category-menu" class="menu">
<div class="menu-title"><?php _e('', 'thematic'); ?></div>
<ul id="category-nav" class="sf-menu">
<?php wp_list_pages('include=36,37,39,48&title_li=&depth=2'); ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_belowheader','childtheme_category_menu', 5);The problem is that wp_list_pages is not generating nested lists. Specifying the depth argument has no effect on it.
Any ideas what might be interfering?
P.S. - First day with Thematic
any updates?
Have you looked at the source code to see if the list depth is there but CSS is hiding it somehow?
Its not even generated. Anyways I got it working by custom php code through IDs
I want to prevent pages with a parent category from showing up in my navigation. In a normal theme, I would just put this in the header.
<?php wp_list_pages(depth=1); ?>
I guess I have yet to understand why Thematic doesn't give us the same access to that code. This is not easier.
