Changing Buttons from Permalinks

as you add pages they will spread evenly acrross the top navbar
if you want to change their behavior – look in your theme’s header.php

as for redirecting page navs – you will need a plugin

there are others you can google

HaHa!! I ran into this problem recently as im still new to the way wp uses php. here was my dilema-i\I wanted a page that only shows videos that I post. The problem is if you create a page through the control panel it only creates a single post page with there pre programmed link to it. In other words you create a PAGE not a page which is different from the front blog page. It creates a page that only allows one post and automatically creates one tabbed navigation link at the top of the page. You DON’T need a plugin to do what your trying to do. What you DO need is a little understanding of the wordpress functions and do a little coding of your own. If you want to spread the nav links across evenly which wordpress automatically and you don’t like how it looks then target the code with CSS and style them how you would like to-ex. adding some padding or changing the margins etc… As for external links its a little more complicated. If you know html then you know how to create a link. The next step is the link location. Here’s my code for changing the link of a page created link to my own link, in this case redirect it to a category link: `<?php
// Get the ID of a given category
$category_id = get_cat_ID( ‘Video’ );
// Get the URL of this category
$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?>

<div class=”page_item”>“title=”Video”>Video</div>`

This of course is a link to an internal page but if you wanted to link to an external page just ignore the first two lines of code and use the third replacing the php code with the location of your link. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if this works!

see my last reply :>)

Is that not effectively creating a whole post just to make a link?

if I understood, he/she wants the navbar Page links to go off site
so it would be creating a page title that redirects off site
