Menus and categories question

[WendyParticipant]

I have been setting up menus and have come up with a quandary ….

Because I do both I have a photos menu and an illustration menu in my top bar, I added a category so that I can select this and therefore I get them under that only.
Is there any way I can have a drop down menu under there where for example I can have photos of cars under photos and illustrations of cars under illustrations?

Also I see we have an option for a side menu …. how do you get that to show up ?

You can have menu items under a header – just one level deep though. So you can go to edit the menu in WordPress (Appearance->Menus) and add categories or a page (that’s how my categories gallery is handled) or a URL to a menu. You get to pick the text for the menu so it can be a duplicate – Cars under Photographs and Cars under Illustrations.

You can make a new menu – again in the WP admin interface – and then assign it wherever you want. I’m not sure where you want to put it, but you can see an example in my test site:

click on Blog menu on the home page and you’ll go to a page with the custom menu widget placed in the sidebar on the right with some images as menu items.

Is that what you wanted to do?

I did that JoAnn, but if I have illustrations on the menu, if I put category cars under it, I get both vectors and photos … I was trying to get only vector cars under vectors … Hmm I think I might have worked it out …. off to experiment

[WendyParticipant]

Ok what I have done is made sure I had for example “vector” and “transport” in the keywords … then did a search … this then gives me a results page. I take the link for that page and create a menu item with the link under the heading of Vectors
This will then give a page of vector transport images (only one so far).
