I’m a beginner to intermediate WP programmer. I’m trying to figure out how to do a simple drop down menu with nav that uses pages. I did drop downs on this blog<\/a> that uses categories for the nav with just this code (no plugin):<\/p>\n

<ul id="nav_menu">\n   <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home<\/a><\/li>\n   <?php wp_list_pages('include=2&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n   <?php wp_list_categories('include=472,471,470,469,468,467,466,465,464,463,462,333,310,300,299,293,292,291,290,289,288,287,286,285,284,283,282,280,279,278,277,276,275,274,273,272,271,270,269,254,248,249,180,279,251,252,253,266,267,268,167&title_li=&depth=2');?>\n   <?php wp_list_pages('include=2308&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n<\/ul><\/code><\/pre>\n
I’m trying to do the same for this blog<\/a> that uses mostly pages for the nav and thought it would be similar, however, can’t get it to work.  Here’s what I tried testing one item – the second one down (#2 is parent):<\/p>\n
<ul id="nav_menu">    \n\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=3&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=2,896,898,903&title_li=&depth=2');?>\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=23&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=25&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=27&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n<?php wp_list_categories('include=3&title_li=&depth=2');?>\n<?php wp_list_pages('include=407&title_li=&depth=1');?>\n            <\/ul><\/code><\/pre>\n
I set up the pages so that the main nav (ID2) is a parent page and the drop downs are children but still won’t work.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1710644","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/1710644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/1710644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1710644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
