Custom Menu Editor
-
I know this is not a support issue I just wanted to let the WP.com members know the Custom Menu Editor has arrived!!! You can find the menu editor in your dashboards side bar under category “appearance” → “Menus”
From what I have seen and read the understanding I got was we will have control with how are page links will appear on our site (order wise) as well be able to create hyper links to other sites of choice. ( instead of using the nav hyper link workaround)
Woo Themes made the product and donated their product to automattic and in return automattic staff modified the code to work and too blend in with the WP dashboard layout.
Here is a article from the Woo Themes blog http://www.woothemes.com/2010/01/the-awesome-custom-woo-navigation/
Also here is a video of the menu editor in action on WP 3.0 http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/menu-management-ui/Quoted from my comment attached to this article → Matt Mullenweg at WordCamp San Francisco 2010

When I open it in my dashboard with my theme (Sandbox 1.6.1) it says in a red warning box at the top:
The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar.
I suspect that is going to happen with other themes as well. One thing to remember is that if your theme does not have top navigation tabs, the “menu” feature will not add them. At least that is as I understand it.

It does apparently allow us to create custom menu widgets for our sidebars with all the bells and whistles.

Thanks for the heads up. Will also be looking forward to seeing a new Support doc, hopefully in the near future.

Update if you have a custom menu active on your site when you create new pages it will not show p on your site until you go back into the menu editor and add the page. to your custom menu layout.
Also you can make any page a sub page by hovering the page under another page you will see the out line move to the right indicating the page will be a child page. → screen shot reference

I just tried it with 2010 and couldn’t add a HTML link to my top navigation. I’m probably missing something. I’ll wait till the support document comes out. My interest in figuring out how it all works isn’t there tonight.

I did it three times and no extra tabs on the top menu.
I’ll try again when my interest in it rises far enough.

@thesacredpath You will need to go back into the menu editor and add the newest navigation tab to your custom menu layout.

I think it’s all themes that have top navigation AND which also show child pages in a drop down menu.
-
Tried it on Twenty Ten (which notes I can only have one Custom Menu) and Bueno (which give no such warning) and it works fine.
Inuit Types however gives no warning that Custom Menus are not applicable and stubbornly refuses to do anything with it except as a widget and an odd one at that.

Don’t think so.
@adam You may want to reconsider that because in this screen shot you can see I have linked to my other blogs just fine with the notepad theme using the men editor method.
