WordPress.org

After you've downloaded and extracted the files:

1. Upload the complete multi-level-navigation-plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
   
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
   3a. Either: Add <?php if (function_exists('pixopoint_menu')) {pixopoint_menu();} ?> to your theme wherever you want the menu to appear (usually your header.php file)
   3b. Or: Create a theme with the PixoPoint template generator which features built in support for the plugin
   
3. Copy the CSS from the Multi-level menu CSS Generator page
   
4. Visit the "Multi-level Navigation" page in your WordPress options menu
   

Easy installation

The easiest way to setup the PixoPoint Multi-level Navigation Plugin is to use it with a theme specifically designed to support the plugin. All themes exported from the PixoPoint Template Generator (which have dropdown menus) support this by default. Simply activate your theme, then activate the plugin and the new menu will appear instantly. Visit the PixoPoint Template Generator to get your own pre-supported theme.

If you don't take this route then read on for simple instructions on how to integrate it into other themes ...

Premium Support

For direct help via the plugin (and CSS generator) author, please sign up for the PixoPoint Premium Support service.

The PixoPoint Premium Support option is ideal if you have insufficient time to fix any problems you may have or simply don't know much about coding. You will receive not only techinical support and access to the latest PixoPoint betas but they will also install the plugin and set it up on your site if needed. Customisations of the plugin are also done for some premium members, although we recommend asking first via the PixoPoint Contact Form for such requests as some customisations may require extra payment depending on their complexity.

Free support

If you follow all of the instructions here, activate the plugin and find the menu is appearing on your site but looks messed up, then the problem is probably caused by a clash between your themes CSS and plugins CSS. These problems can usually be remedied by removing the wrapper tags which surround the menu in your theme. For example, most themes will have some HTML such as which contains the existing themes menu. By placing the pixopoint_menu() function between those DIV tags, the menu will often interact with that DIV tag. The solution is to either remove the DIV tag or to alter it's CSS so that it doesn't interact with the menu.

If you require further help with the plugin, please visit the PixoPoint Multi-level Navigation Plugin page or the PixoPoint support forum.

Please read the following tips to help have questions answered faster.

• Where is your CSS?
  
• What modifications have you made to the CSS?
  
• What browsers are you having problems with?
  
• What is the URL for your site?
  
• Provide a link to the problem. Most problems can not be answered without actually seeing your site. If you don't want to install the plugin on your live site and don't have a test site to show us, then view the source code in your browser when you do have the plugin installed, save it to an HTML file and upload that somewhere so that we can see what the page looks like.
  
• Do not bother providing us with HTML and/or CSS code snippets (without a link). There is very little we can do without seeing the entire page as most problems are caused by an obscure piece of CSS somewhere else on the page.
  
• Let us know if you have modified the CSS. If it is modified beyond what is available in the CSS generator we are unlikely to offer support for free. Rummaging through other peoples code is too time consuming sorry.
  
• If you didn't paste your CSS into the WP plugins settings page, let us know which exact file it is in. Searching through a dozen CSS files in your theme trying to find your menu code is not fun.
