   Good Afternoon,

   I am trying to find a little bit of help. basically I have my site about 60-70% done, but an now working on fine tuning the details. If you head over to Dorkutopia.com and check out the top navbar it has three listed drop downs.

   Home | DU HQ | Categories

   And i have the code set up like so

   <div id="navbarleft">
   <ul id="nav">

   ">Home

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

   Categories

   <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&depth=4&orderby=name'); ?>

   </div>

   Basically, I would like to break it down so my parent categories are listed across the nav bar, with the children as drop downs. I can seem to figure out what I am missing as I the tutorials and PhP i found just broke the layout of my site.

   Any help would be appreciated

   If your top-level categories don't change often, you could put the text for them in the nav bar and then show just their children as in:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Only_Show_Children_of_a_Category

   If you don't want to worry about changing the menu when you add/delete a top-level category, you'll need another loop in your menu code and you might use the get_categories and get_category_link functions.

   You'll probably need to make sure the lists match up with what your theme/css is expecting, and decide whether a top level category with children is a link or not.

   Or, simpler, what if you take out the "Categories" and the "UL" tags underneath it Doesn't that give you your top level categories at the same level as "DU HQ"?

   But I may be completely missing your point.
