Thanks, great info.  How can put that link as a sub menu'd link in a drop down menu? Or in a footer site map?

oops, just saw this is all changed in below thread... thanks though!

I love the video tutorial.
I was wondering how to do the same thing in the header.php. I'm using StationPro3 and I do not see the _nav.php under the Appearance > Editor.
What line would I then add the new nav.
Thanks.

Hey there! As Adam said below, this method is actually deprecated as you can use the WP custom menus now to do this. :)

O yea Alyson, I added a menu of category and that work well.
O by the way, could you please remove my email since I made a mistake and enter my email instead of my user name.
You can delete my comment if you have to.
Thanks,
Shaz.

I don't have the _nav.php and the list isn't in the header.php. What to do? I have platform pro.

Hi, the WP custom menus make it so much easy. the WP menus says that the theme (PlatformPrp) supports 3 menus, how can I increase this number? Thank You.

@bartzokas

Could you please mention a sourse where I could learn how to use custom menus?

@bartzokas

Thanks for your reply!! What I want to do is to display posts from specific category on a wordpress Page. I would like to create a category named "blog" and link it to a page "blog" to display the posts . Is there a way to use custom menus to do that? Thanks

Great stuff - I am using platformPRO but cannot find the _nav.php and you mention the header.php instead. I looked at this one but cannot seem to recognize the spot where to add the categories URL .

This is exactly what I want to do for my site, but your video is too small to read the actual steps you're doing. You should have a step-by-step guide that we can download for help; especially considering that your feedback is only given randomly between Monday and Friday!

Great tutorial, it easy when you show with video , i follow your step and it work great on my 3.0 wp theme.

I'm using WhiteHouse Pro, what steps should I follow to do that but in a dropdown menú?

Thanks!

Hi cmunns,
thanks for your advice. It works, but than I don't have the chance to further custom the displayed page.
I bought iblogpro3 and want to integrate a blog category into an existing page (that also shows up in the main navigation). I want to have customized words on that page in a box, and then let show automatically the blogposts of my blog's special category.
Any chance to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Christina

I am using your free template that came with GoDaddy WordPress hosting.

This is an excellent video post and I would not figure out how to edit code to make separate blogs under the same domain name unless I saw your video.

@creatov,

Easier, yes. Better, maybe not.

Using a lot of plugins can often make things go haywire, but I'm glad that it's working great for you!

Thanks for sharing. For dummies a little complicated. I use for the same solution the "Page Links To" plugin. This adds an extra block in your page / post dashboard. In fact this is overriding the standard Perma-link. It's flexible and working very easy. I think it's a better suggestion for solving this problem.

Jayson

Thank you so much for posting this! I was just trying to figure out how to do this last night. I can't believe it's that easy. I'll be implementing this today and I truly appreciate it =)

PS - I'll be buying iBlogPro 4 very soon as well ;)
