# Customizing top menu for multisite

 * Hi – I am using this theme for a multisite project.
 * I am using a primary domain as well as several subfolders, with the primary domain
   and each subfolder having its own WordPress install.
 * From the user’s standpoint, the collection of websites should all appear to be
   part of the same website. So for example, myexcellentwebsite.com, myexcellentwebsite.
   com/alpha, myexcellentwebsite.com/beta, myexcellentwebsite.com/gamma, etc. are
   each using Mesocolumn, with each of those subfolders all being different websites
   with their own WordPress installs, but the user should not know the difference.
 * I would like to change the top menu to suit this purpose, in two ways:
 * 1. I would like to change the “Home” button located in the top-left corner so
   that all of them lead to the primary domain. For example, clicking on the “Home”
   button on the subfolder websites myexcellentwebsite.com/alpha, myexcellentwebsite.
   com/beta, myexcellentwebsite.com/gamma, etc. would all take the user to the primary
   myexcellentwebsite.com. (They should still be able to get to the home page of
   the subfolder by clicking on the website title, which won’t be the same for every
   subfolder.)
 * 2. I would like to include menu items that allow users to go between subfolders,
   not just to other pages within the same subfolder. Again, from the user’s standpoint,
   this is supposed to look like just one website, even though it isn’t.
 * Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks very much, I hope that wasn’t confusing.

 * i don’t think the theme can adapt to this. unless you hardcoded the main site
   menu into the theme (header.php) so all users using the theme will have the same
   menu. although this will remove the users custom menu ability in their own site.

 * Thanks for the update. There may be a plugin that can help with this. If I find
   one that works or some other solution, then I’ll post about it here.

 * I just realized that all of this can be done using the Menu features in WordPress
   under Appearance > Menus.
 * The Home button can be linked to any URL, and the custom links feature can be
   used to construct a pull-down menu with links to all of the sites of ones choosing.
 * This explains some of this:

 * Thanks.
