Nice tutorial.
This is great! But do you have any idea how to make the category appear somewhere else in the menu, instead of as the last menu item only?
I will post that soon. Thanks for asking Jason.
Hi Jason, Here is the tutorial for changing categories links in navigation menu before appearing pages menu. http://fourblogger.com/how-to-put-categories-before-pages-in-thesis-navigation-menu/
You can also change home menu also after pages or categories. By the way , in thesis, you have the freedom to choose which menu appear first and which menu appear last. Just we need to do swap the codes.
Hi, when i try to add a sub category it appears as a parent category however when i select the the sub and parent cat to show in the nav it works but duplicates the parent…Any idea on what im doing wrong??
First you have to give your site name, then only we can rectify your problem. at the time of creating sub-category you have to mention parent category also.
