Hi Guys,

I have been messing around with the free ithemes social theme and countryside theme and quite like them. I am trying to get a new IM project up and running asap.

The problem I got is with subpages not showing in the menu bar

I have added subpages to the theme and want them to show as a drop down menu when hovering over the parent page in the menu bar. I cant work out how to do this?

Anyone used these themes before and know the quick answer to this?

Thanks in advance

    Look in your Theme Editor section in the header.php file. Look for the area where the list of pages is called (Nav Bar?) and you should see something like:
    Code:
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order&exclude=3'); ?>
    Change or add the &depth= and the # of sub pages per parent pages to look for (1=1 sub page, 2 would be sub of a sub)

    Hi Greg,

    I think I tried that and changed it to 1, and the subpage appeared in the actual menu bar and not as a drop down when hovered over.

    Do you know how to make it so when I hover my cursor over the parent, the subpages would be drop down?

      Not off the top of my head, it just happens automatically on the themes I tend to use. I have never altered that part, so I am not sure if it is in the CSS or where.

    This is a problem I'm currently wrestling with too. I posted a request for help today. In earlier versions of W 7 you could simply select the parent page at the foot of the area where you are writing the page. In this latest version of WP, this option seems to have vanished.

    Why on earth would they do that, I used it constantly in older blogs.

    It's an issue with your theme's css file. A fellow Warrior was able to add several lines of programming to my theme's css file and now everything works just fine.

    This looks like something a plug-in can fix - do a search at WordPress.org - here's one I found that might work:
