Wordpess Menu - Stressed Out - Need Help!

WEB DESIGN

I'm in serious need of some help with my WP menu!

I can't stop new pages appearing in the top navigation menu bar.

With all of my previous sites I have created custom menus so I can section off different pages into the side bar & top navigation bar.

After the menus are created, I then go & create a page. The new page will not show up anywhere until I add it to one of the created menus.

For some unknown reason with this new site, every time I create a new page it keeps adding to the top navigation bar.

This is a problem because I don't want to end up with every page on the site in the top navigation bar.

Does anyone know how I can sort this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

It seems you have checked Automatically Add New top-level Pages

Go to Menu's page, and UNCHECK - Automatically Add New top-level Pages, line.

regards,
Mohsin

Thanks for the help Mohsin.

Unfortunatly this has not solved the problem. - the boxes are unchecked

I've tryed everything, I've even deleted all the pages on the site then re published them but no matter what, I just can't seem to stop pages being added to the top navigation bar.

I have 2 custom menus created, I published a test page & the page is added to the top navigation bar but this should not happen. The page should not appear anywhere until I place it into one of the custome menus.

This is a real pain!

It may have something to do with the theme you're using. Have you used the same one before? Some of these themes have a plethora of options and can be pretty confusing.

I agree. Pop in a new theme and see if you have the same problem.

I'm using the flexibility theme 3

I'm using this theme on all of my site, 6 of which I have no problems with but the 2 new ones I've set up are giving me this problem.

I'll have a dig around the theme setting to see if I've missed something.

This never is a "WP issue" - it is a theme-specific problem, so you will have to find experts for your theme and not WP-experts to solve it.

Your best bet is the support for the theme... e.g.

  When its' not the theme... it's always the user!
  
  I am not familiar with that theme but I am familiar with user errors. You must be doing something wrong with the menus, sorry.
  
  Thanks

  I didn't say that. You need reading lessons! (I hope this is helpful enough for you...)

  Yes... and what's even worse for you: I was right!
  
  Quote from the OP's PM to me:
  Istvan, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this.
  I've been sitting here for like 3 hours trying to figure this out, finaly it's sorted - I can sleep now! Thanks again Barry
  
  And all I did was to tell him what was he doing wrong and how to do it properly.
  So, was it a WP glitch? - Nope.
  Was it a theme issue? - Nope.
  Was it the user...? - Yes.
  
  Thanks
