    My website is crescuoli associati.
    I would like to make my navbar use static URLs. I was planning edit directly the header.php file. Is there a different way (I cannot find any option on the wordpress admin CMS)??

    Many thanks.

    I still cannot get pages to display separately - for example http://www.criscuoli.it/w/#publications-news displays (just scrolls down the blog roll on home page), but http://www.criscuoli.it/w/publications-news (the page) shows a 404 error (when it shoudl show the actual blog article.

    I have set 1 blog to display on homepage (yet all 8 display inline).
    I have set URL permalinks to the form http://www.criscuoli.it/w/sample-post/

    I have also added the htaccess file to make the appropriate rewrites.

    Anyone have any ideas.

    Much appreciated

    Yes. See custom menus.

    Actually Jan, before I make a custom menu, I first need to create seperate pages. The problem is, that these are not working - for example the page http://www.criscuoli.it/w/contact, should be a seperate page, but gives a 404.

  7. Viewing the HTML source for http://www.criscuoli.it/w/...

    I think you can create the pages but it doesn't seem to have any permalinks that actually work.

    Before you can create any fancy link to a page (or post) you need to fancy permalinks working.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

    If you can't get that working then try switching to the default permalinks and then reference the non-fancy page URL instead in your custom menu.

    http://www.criscuoli.it/w/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

    Select http://www.criscuoli.it/w/?p=123

    Then you can reference the page by ID number.

    http://www.criscuoli.it/w/?page_id=123

    The 123 is made up but you should be able to find the ID number of your pages.

    Thanks Jan.
    I am actually looking to SEO these pages, so must get the pretty permalinks working. This seems to be a htaccess issue to me.
    Anyway, playtime over, I must take down the non working menu for now!

    Well, yes. Sort of. It means mod_rewrite isn't working. Check that that Apache module is enabled for your web pages directory.

    If you do not know how to do that, ask your host for assistance.
