    Hi,
    I’m new with wordPress and have a problem. We have our homepage and it is working fine. We have a menu on the sidebar, which is going through the whole page and all it’s sub pages. Now my boss would like to have a page, that she can use for her resume for consulting and co. This should just be reachable through a link. No Problem until here. But now she want two have instead of the regular menu a menu just with the sub pages for her resume, and it should just be visible for the people who get the link to the resume and they should not be aible to see the other (regular site) Menu.

    Is this possible? Please can anyone help me? 🙂

    I hope you can understand what I tried to explain.

    Thank you

    You would need to create a custom page template with its own sidebar template file.

    Hi,

    I don’t know, what else I can do, in the last few hours I tried everything to get a template, whit out my regular Menu. Whenever I think something works all the actual text of my page is gone and I have my “home” Page with changing background images and the complete menu on this page instead.

    If there is somebody who could help me, please do so 🙂

    Thank you.

    First, create your custom page template and apply it to that page.

    Then you need to review that Codex page again. There must be an error in your custom page template.

    OK – so now copy the existing sidebar template file, name the copy sidebar-custom.php, customise it and then change <?php get_sidebar());?> to <?php get_sidebar('custom'));?> in your new page template.

    ok, I tried. I started and saved the new sidebar, sidebar-custom.php (still with the original content without any changes just to see, if it works) and changed my page template with <?php get_sidebar(‘custom’));?>

    If I go on the page now, it says
    “Server error
    The website encountered an error while retrieving http://heikejarick.com/hj/resume. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
    Here are some suggestions:
    Reload this web page later.
    HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request. ”

    Sorry – my bad. There was a typo in my post. Try using <?php get_sidebar('custom');?>

    Thank you, now it’s working. Now I will try to customize the sidebar template file.
