Sorry, No.
CMW only works with the menu items themselves, not the content of the page that any of the menu items point to. CMW does not do any checking regarding the validity of the menu items – whether a page/post/category/tag exists, or a category/tag has any relevant posts to display – it merely filters the menu items.

If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s perfectly feasible to code up a custom plugin that, for example, does an ajax call on mouseover to retrieve and show a count/list of relevant posts (some javascript and an ajax handler) … but it’s not something that I’d consider putting into CMW itself.

Hi.
1. Well, the answer is Yes … but it’s not something that you can do via the Custom Menu Wizard plugin. CMW does not change the URL that a menu item points to, so it cannot affect how the resultant page gets displayed.
If you need to change the way that a category page lists its posts then you will need to make a change to your theme’s template files.

2. I’m sorry, but the Custom Menu Wizard plugin only concerns itself with custom menus and the items that are attached to them. CMW does not distinguish between a menu item that points to a specific page and a menu item that points to a tag listing : both are merely a single menu item.

3. At present, No. CMW only offers list output.
I notice that you seem to be outputting the entire menu, ie. no filtering? If you don’t need to filter the menu items then I would suggest that it might be worth investigating other menu presentation plugins, and see if any provide output as a SELECT. CMW might be overkill for your needs?

I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a more positive response.

Sorry for the delayed response, I missed the notification…

Yes.
Primary Filter
Branch : Current Item
Secondary Filter
Starting at : 1 (root)
Inclusions
Level : 1

If you want to show the root items even when the current item is nowhere within the menu structure then you’ll also need an Alternative something like:
On Condition …Current Item is NOT in… Menu
Then switch settings to [cmwizard depth=1/]

I going to assume that the page in question is http://www.sueorreal.com.au/therapy-services/ ?

There is nothing that can make the plugin simply stop working from one day to the next unless something has changed!

Has the menu changed? : I notice that the menu item appears to be “Therapy Services”, yet the shortcode (using a string rather than an id) has branch="services"?
Has the page been edited and/or the shortcode been changed?
Is the CMW plugin still installed and active?
Has anything else changed?

As I stated above, “CMW does not supply any styling at all”.

You’ve kindly provided a partial extract of the code produced by the CMW shortcode and, as you can see, there are no inline styles. Also, if you look at any of the CSS rules that are being applied to any of the elements, you will notice that they all come from your Onetake theme.

Here’s 1 way to make your specific menu display horizontally:

#menu-main {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#menu-main li {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 2em 0 0;
}

I see you’ve switched to using the JQuery Categories List plugin, which makes more sense than creating (and maintaining) a custom menu of categories/sub-categories.

Hmmm, perhaps I should have paid more attention to the post title, and not got distracted by the “structure”!

Going by the title, it would seem that these “hidden pages” are simply not (currently) in the menu?

In which case, depending on whether the menu is being used elsewhere or not, you might be able to add these “hidden pages” to the menu and then Exclude them in CMW?
You could position them where appropriate for the desired output set (at the “Doc Page 1” level, for example), and set a Qualifier to say Current Item is in Menu. This will then produce output – but not the Excluded items – even when the user is on one of those “hidden pages”.

This would only work if the menu was not being used elsewhere and in such a fashion as to display those “hidden pages”, because while CMW could exclude them, other display mechanisms might not.

On a fresh CMW widget instance…

Select your menu
FILTERS
Primary Filter
Branch: Current Item
Secondary Filter
Starting at: 1 (root)
Inclusions
Level: 1
ALTERNATIVE
On condition: Current Item is NOT in… Menu
Then switch settings to: [cmwizard depth=1/]

The shortcode equivalent is something like (the id of the menu may well be different!) …

[cmwizard menu=2 branch=current start_at="1" include_level="1" alternative="no-current,menu"]depth=1[/cmwizard]

Check it using the Assist!

Note that the settings above will always show the top level items regardless of what page you are on, due to the Alternative setting. (If you only wanted the menu to show when you were actually on one of the pages within the menu then you would not need to set the Alternative)
