    I am having issues adding categories to the navigation I have tried the methods I found on the forum but I keep getting a drop down menu form.

    http://sinistersuicide.net/ok/ is the website I want to display “categories” in the navigation aswell as pages.

    My header code is:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo('name'); }

 elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); }

 elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo ': '; single_post_title(); }

 else { wp_title('',true); } ?></title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/script.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style.ie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style.ie7.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php printf(__('%s RSS Feed', 'kubrick'), get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="<?php printf(__('%s Atom Feed', 'kubrick'), get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" /> 

<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

<?php wp_head(); ?>

</head>

    I have tried adding <a href="url">url name</a>

    But it doesn’t style to the same as the other links in the navigation, how can I style normal <a href="url">url name</a> links to match the other links in the navigation please?

    thanks!

    I think you need to look at wp_list_catagories. You can read how to set your preferences and more on that page.

    A quick fix would be the following:

    <ul class="art-menu">
 <?php wp_list_categories(); ?>
</ul>

    That will list your categories. Then, using creative CSS (display:inline) you can line them up and style them just like your regular navigation.

    Hope that helps!
