Adding support for custom menus is simple with WordPress. Follow the steps described below to add custom support to your SimpleFolio themed site.
1. Add menu support to the theme:
Path: <root>/wp-content/themes/simplefolio/functions.php
Add at the end of the file before closing php “?>”
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
2. Change header.php and add reference to custom menu
Path: <root>/wp-content/themes/simplefolio/header.php
Line 63
<div id="pagenav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Replace the wp_lis+pages tag with your custom menu reference.
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main Navigation' )); ?>
Final:
<div id="pagenav">
<ul id="nav">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main Navigation' )); ?>
</ul>
</div>
In this case the custom menu has the menu name “Main Navigation”. Look at the WordPress function reference for additional ideas: WordPress Codex Function Reference – wp_nav_menu
3. Create the custom menu in WordPress – http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ – name the menu “Main Navigation”
