  • menus don’t ussually get copied to pages, try to be more specific if possible.

    The menu is probably in header.php so if you want to exclude it you’re going to have to add some conditional code to it.

    In all honesty it’s pretty hard to say for sure unless we see some code from your theme. We’d probably need to see header.php and whatever file you’re trying to copy. Use a service like pastie to put the code up.

    What I am doing is this, I go dashboard, pages, new, publish. This gives me a new page with the menu copied. I would like to create a new page without copying the menu over. Then add my own new menu to that page. I hope that makes sense. I am as you may guess new at this.

    Thanks again for help.

    If you use a custom menu in a widget you can do that,but you have to hide your default menu that comes with wordpress. Do this by creating an empty custom menu and assign it as Main.

    Do this under the Apperance/Menus . Here you can also create the menu with the pages you want on it.

    If other pages show differnt menus, they can be created here too. Put them all in a sidebar. Do not assign any of them as Main, just put then in a sidebar and leave the empty menu as main.

    Then get a plugin called Dynamic Widgets, it will let you assign where and when each menu appears on your site. You can even tell it to show a certain menu for a certain user.

    Dynamic Widgets work for any widget, not just menus 🙂

    Good luck!

    That sounds good to me. Also sounds as though it should do exactly what I want. I’ll have a go at that in the morning. Lwt you know for certain later.

    Thank you.
