Custom Menus won't work

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there,

    I recently sorted out my site and had everything the way I wanted it. I modified something somewhere, and now the custom menus simply do not work.

    I wanted the contact me, favourite sites and examples to all be under the About Me in a drop down format, but this option seems to have just completely disappeared.

    Every time I try and move them under About Me, they simply reset after saving.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    In addition to that, it seems like general page hierarchy doesn’t work either – despite parents being assigned, nothing changes and it all appears in the header unordered.

    I am having the same problem. I had everything working beautifully, then added some new menu items as submenus today and now nothing stays where I put it when I drag the submenus under in the menu page. Incredibly frustrating.

    Is this the first time you’ve used sub-pages on your Custom Menu?

  • Unknown's avatar

    No. I’ve used them right away upon setting up the page (and on other blogs as well)

    I’m not terribly familiar with how Pilcrow works, but what are the exact items that should be appearing in your custom menu? There might be a difference between what we readers see and what the admin sees.

    Interesting ranch you’ve got there, by the way. Mustangs are awesome.

    i also have a problem with the menu. you can only add posts but not pages. when will his be fixed?!

  • Unknown's avatar

    On a custom menu you can add any link you want. On regular, non-custom tabs you can only add pages.

    As others, I’ve been using them fine up until now without issue , just completely confused as to why it’s no longer working.

    For reference: http://i.imgur.com/0P998.jpg

    About me would come down in a drop down menu when hovered over, and display tabs for “Contact”, “Examples”, “Sites” – similarly with Playstation 3 and Playstation Network, etc.

    That is different from the order of tabs that I see:

    Homepage
    About Sami
    Contact Me
    Examples of inDesign
    Favourite Sites
    Gallery
    Personal Blog and News

    Hey there I’ve also had issues today…. Tried to set up my custom menu and then updated my blog to come to the conclusion that the whole menu including pages was gone!!!!!! There wasn’t even a ‘home’ or ‘about’ page to click on!!!!

  • Unknown's avatar

    Sorry, I’ve been editing them to try and fix it.

    Contact Me, Examples, Favourite sites used to appear under About Me as pages.

    The other category pages were also in a hierarchy.

    Custom menus just don’t seem to be working for me anymore, as the only time I can get hierarchy (even with the About Me pages) is without a custom menu – as soon as I try and set one up it just reverts to everything displaying.

    It could be related to the way staff have been tinkering with blogs, but I’d be surprised. Have you tried reporting it via the Help button?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yeah, that’s what I was thinking with the other posters having the same issue. I have sent a support request so hopefully I get a reply – in the mean time I will move my categories to the side bar.
