Ok, it doesn’t quite seem to do what I’m looking for.

I’ve added a menu with a page and chose the option ‘submenu’ (the option ‘main’ would replace the currently existing menu bar), but it places it under the ‘main’ menu bar as a single entry. When I tested adding another page to it, it placed that entry next to the first, but not within the hierarchy.

What I’m trying to achieve is – have a menu point within the main menu, under which I can include only the required pages. For example, some other template gives you that option from within the page creation dashboard i.e. show or not show the page within any given main menu.

Also I suppose, when creating a new page, that page will be show somewhere within the main menu regardless, either as a main point or sub point. I guess, when creating custom menus and selecting that example page, the template should understand to place it there and not have it featured in two locations subsequently.

Nevertheless, that doesn’t fix the first issue 🙂

Any more ideas? Many thanks!!

Hi all. So no one has an idea for a plugin or a workaround for the issue above?

How can one author of multiple network sites (WP MU) set up different author accounts under ONE MAIL ADDRESS? I would use the same author name, if the sites were connected, but they aren’t.

Neither do I want to set up multiple spare mail addresses to accommodate for all the 1-man-show authors. 🙂

Thanks again

Hi Blair

Many thanks for your answer. Yeah, I believe I know what you mean. So I can rest assured that I DO NOT need to add rel=”nofollow” to the source code when it comes to any Pretty Link generated URL where I ticked the box apply nofollow/noindex?

I guess, if Pretty Link sends this no follow request in the http header, then I don’t have to worry about scrambled SEO link statistics right? I guess I just read it all wrong when I was in panic mode.

Many thanks!!

Hi techonda

Many thanks for your message. Can you elaborate on your suggestion a little more? My permalink structure is already set up in a custom way, hence the following example of a link (none of the ?=22424 etc.):

EXAMPLE:
www .example.com/shoes/boots/article

The above URL structure would work as well, but the way WordPress wants to treat it is as this:

www .example.com/shoes/article (without the second category in the link e.g. ‘boots’).

This can be seen when hovering over the headline of a post – the URL it directs to. Both URL variations work, but the one with one additional category (boots) in the link is flagged by google and SEO Doctor as non-indexable and is in fact not indexed either. The shortened URL, where WordPress drops the second category (boots) in the URL is indexed though.

I mean, a URL with 2 or more categories shouldn’t be a problem hence WP gives you the choice to set these up in the first place.

Thanks again

Hi supercleanse

I actually figured it out and had something wrong with the URL – well, sort of. The thing is that when you implement Pretty Links into HTML on a mapped domain you got to keep the main site prefix. Ok, to illustrate this a little better, this is what I mean:

Does not work (which I expected to work hence I though URLs would be mapped throughout):
newsite.com/prettylink/

Works like this and gets mapped on publishing the page:
mainsite.com/newsite/prettylink/ (newsite is the name you gave the subfolder domain)

You won’t see the URLs mapped on previewing the page, only once it’s released.

Hope this helps.

Aeehm, ok I am in there, but the only option Table Maintenance is giving me is “Flush the table (FLUSH)”… 🙁 Doesn’t sound like a repair though…
