 * Hi,
 * I’m using Academica Education WordPress Theme – WPZOOM
    I’m trying to display
   my top menu into something like this
 * HOME | ABOUT | RESEARCH | FUNDING | CONTACT
    ————————– POST 1R—— POST 1F ————————–
   POST 2R—— POST 2F ————————– POST 3R—— POST 3F
 * Im using wp_nav_menu. So what I want is when I hover at RESEARCH, lists of post
   from category RESEARCH will appear. Same goes to FUNDING.
 * By the way,
    ABOUT – PAGE RESEARCH – CATEGORY FUNDING – CATEGORY CONTACT – PAGE
 * Please help. Thanks.

 * What happens when you have say 50 posts in that category? This can make for a
   messy and hard to use menu…what WP does by is allow the use of a [custom menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen)
   where one can at least get to the topic etc…you can also use the category and
   recent posts widgets..

 * ah thanks. By the way, the posts for research category are only 9 and for funding
   category are only 2. So, I don’t think it would be messy. I never knew what custom
   links function before. Now I’m using the custom links to add the post under research
   and funding category. thank you so much seacoast 🙂

    - Go to appearance – menus
    -  create a menu if you don’t have one yet.
    -  Add the pages or categories which you want on the top level to your menu.
    -  For each post add the link to that post to your menu with the custom links
      option, click the add to menu button.
    -  you can drag and drop the menu items into the order and hierarchy which you
      desire.
    -  save menu
    -  ensure that the menu has been allocated to a theme location, top left of 
      this screen.
 * Done
