Could you post the url of the site? It’s easier to work with the CSS if I can see exactly what is going on. 🙂

It could be your web host. Some hosts do have certain settings which prevent mails from being sent properly. Or, the server could be just busy. This may be the case if this problem has suddenly happened.

Ask your users to check their spam boxes for the activation emails.

If your server does have an issue with the default wordpress mail function, here’s a plugin you could try: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Who is your host?

I wouldn’t call it a waste, every error in WordPress leads to learning! 😀 I’m glad to help. My cat is dearly departed but he says hello to yours from the Other Realm. 😀

Did you check to see if the emails are going to the spam filters?

Ah, I see the issue. This part of the code:

$siteurl = get_bloginfo('url');

is fetching your homepage URL and making the logo link to the home page.

I think you might be able to modify this filter. Try using this code (add it to functions.php):

function new_logo_url($output) {
	$options = get_option('mystique');
 $output = '<'.$tag.' id="logo">';

  if($options['logo']) // logo image?
    $output .= '<a href="PUT NEW URL HERE"><img src="'.$options['logo'].'" title="'.$sitename.'" '.$size.' alt="'.$sitename.'" /></a>';
  else
    $output .= '<a href="PUT NEW URL HERE">'.$sitename.'</a>';
  $output .= '</'.$tag.'>';
}
add_filter('mystique_logo', 'new_logo_url');

Not sure if it’ll work but try it and see…

Well, if you want to give creating a drop-down menu a try, you could always just back up all of your theme files somewhere on your local computer. Then if you muck things up, you’ll have your backup to fall back on.

The WordPress default theme, twenty-ten, supports drop-down menus. One idea would be to take a look in the twenty-ten style.css file and find all style rules related to the main navigation. Copy those rules over, and then paste them into your theme’s style.css.

Then open the twenty-ten header.php file, and copy all code having to do with the navigation menu. Then paste those into your theme’s header.php file. Make sure you enable support for wordpress nav menus in your functions.php file.

There will be adjustments to make, and you’ll have to change the colors, sizing and spacing to match your theme. Lots of trial and error.

For the future, you might also want to look into installing WordPress on your personal computer. You could download XAMPP, MAMP (if you’re on a Mac) or WAMP (Google them) which will set up a web server on your own computer. You can then install WordPress and test out new features like these without worrying about messing with a live site.

Are you using a custom template you designed for the blog page, or the default loop that comes with the twenty-ten theme?
