Menu for page different menu for post
3 replies · Started by Tom on June 28, 2016
My old fixed page html site (http://ethericstudies.org) has a link to a wordpress essay section with its own menu (http://ethericstudies.org/essays/). I am trying to replicate that using your theme for the whole site.
So I am trying to have a page menu and a different one for posts. The page menu has home, about, bio and essays ... mostly fixt content. When a person clicks on essays, the header menu changes to home, content and a tab for each category.
Everything I have tried turns out to be a dead end for this target. My current thought is to just upgrade my existing essay pages to your theme and have two separate instances of wordpress.
If I do that, then I need a way to integrate them with a single search tool.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi Tom,
I'm afraid I'm not fully understanding - can you expand a bit or show me an examples?
Thanks!
Thanks for the response Tom.
I am updating a website to conform with mobile requirements. The website is ethericstudies.org. The existing site is html built using Microsoft Expressions. I have a WordPress application at ethericstudies.org/essays/.
The objective is to use a new WordPress application for ethericstudies.org to replace the html, and to integrate the essays section. To do that, I am using your Mantle theme and attempting to have a top menu for the fixed pages and a different top menu under the same header for the post pages.
Overnight, I figured out that I am not thinking right. What I should be doing is redesigning all of the site so that one menu will work. I have to stop thinking migration and start thinking redesign.
Your Mantle will do just fine the way it is and I need no further help for now.
... except for one question. What is the best way to add CSS to center post title text? Should I just add a new CSS file in the theme Mantle folder?
By the way, after trying countless themes, I seem to have suddenly discovered yours. The space between block makes the pages look so much more interesting. Very nice work. Thanks!
If you do need it, a plugin like this might help: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/if-menu/
As for the CSS, this should help: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-css/
To center all post titles, try this:
.entry-header {
text-align: center;
}Hope this helps :)
