[Resolved] Navigation bar disappeared

[Ornulf Hjort-Sorensen]

Hi, just re-installed WP with GP Premium after cache program problems, and starting site all over again.
Suddenly the horizontal navigation bar disappered. What did I do wrong, and what di I do to make it right again?
All the best

Do you have menu items added to your menu in “Appearance > Menus”?

[Ornulf Hjort-Sorensen]

Hi, Tom, no.

[Tom]

That would be why no menu items are showing up.

If you add some menu items, they will appear 🙂

[Ornulf Hjort-Sorensen]

Ok, items meaning?

[Tom]

Pages/categories/etc..

In order to have a navigation bar, you need menu items to populate the bar, so people have something to click on.

In “Appearance > Menus”, you can add your pages to your navigation, so your users have menu items they can click on to navigate throughout your website.

[Ornulf Hjort-Sorensen]

Yes, of course, my fault.
But by doing so, adding pages, the page title also shows up in the post field (tekst box). So if I name the page Home, “Home” also heads the post field.
If I leave the name field open, a #(no title) name shows in the navigation.
Any way to avoid this, page name also in the text field/Box?

Best regards

Your best bet is to name the page title whatever you like while editing/adding the page.

Then in “Appearance > Menus”, add the page to your menu, and expand it.

In there you can change the “Navigation Label” to “Home” or whatever you like.

[Ornulf Hjort-Sorensen]

Got it! At last I understand how it works making pages witout page names visible in the textboxes.
Thanks again for excellent follow ups.
🙂

You’re welcome! 🙂
