So I spent an idle Sunday afternoon fiddling around with the various ins and outs of the latest WordPress 3.0 trunk build. One of the things I really wanted to figure out was the incorporation of the Woothemes Custom Menu Navigation.
Custom menu navigation in WordPress 3.0
(Okay, so I’m showing off my Linux Mint 8 desktop as well–deal with it)
By adding this the following snippet of code to the new default “2010″ theme’s “functions.php” file I was able to add those rather neat drop down menus to the main menu bar under the header image.
add_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );
I went a bit overboard and added the blog roll as well but what the heck–I was on a roll.
Seems that WordPress 3.0 is going to set a new standard for CMS/Blogging platforms all over again. I like it–a lot!
I like your current theme. Glad to see you posting again, must mean you’re feeling better.
Hi Elaine,
Funny thing is, is this theme is going to be the new “Default” theme (called “2010″) that will come with WordPress 3.0. The ironic bit is this new “Default” theme is based on the “Kirby” theme I use on “Just Thinkin”. It’s much more powerful and customizable theme than the old Default theme (Kubrick) that’s come with previous versions of WP.
WordPress 3.0 is going to be very cool indeed.
Is this theme available yet? And I take it the header image can be replaced with one of your own? Along with BG color?
Hi Elaine – The “2010″ is not available as yet but I could easily zip up the one that comes with WordPress 3.0 and send it to you. As to your other two questions, yes and yes. It has options for uploading your own header image and your own background image. It also comes with 8 preloaded header images to choose from. It’s a bit more fancier in features and functions in the back end than the “Kirby” theme it’s based on which I use on JT, although it looks much the same on the front end of the website. Basically, you can make it look anyway you want.
Elaine – Just a quick note. I found that the new “2010″ theme is not compatible with WP 2.9.2. I figure that the theme takes advantage of the core features of WP 3.0 or some of them at least which aren’t present in 2.9.2. Sorry about that.
