Adding a header for categories (Picture Perfect)

    Hey all, I’m using the Picture Perfect theme for my photoblog, http://www.nicbuncephotography.co.uk but I’ve been told that it looks too cluttered. Originally, I wanted to change the menu bar on the left so that it linked to Categories, not pages, but having failed at that, I tried to set it up so that I can have a header bar with categories, like the Pilcrow theme on my blog http://www.ramblinganicdotes.wordpress.com…

    Problem is that I have no idea how to do this, and for the life of me I can’t get anywhere through forums and googling the problem.

    Can anybody help out with any of that at all? Thanks in advance,

    Nic

    It looks like your site is currently using twentytwelve? Picture Perfect looks to be quite outdated – you probably don’t want to use it as it may have compatibility issues:

    I’m not totally clear on what you want to do – but to put category pages in your menu see:

    Or if you want to make layout modifications to a theme, you’ll need to create a child theme and then make a custom template.

    Sorry, I was messing with different themes and my internet died before I could fix it… It should be back to its previous layout, sorry…

    I’ll give that a whirl in the morning, thanks. Specifically, I want to either change the coding in the Picture Perfect theme so that the icons on the left link to Categories, not Pages, or add a navigation bar to the header area for each of my Categories, underneath the line reading “Photography by Nic Bunce… Simple as that.”…

    I like the way the icons on the left display; it’d be a shame to lose that.

    Like I said, I would not recommend using a theme that’s not current — you’ll likely run into problems with it… You can likely recreate that look/layout in another theme with some custom work.
