Drop Down Headers

  I have three main headers on my page under which I add blog posts:

  – From the garden
  – From the kitchen
  – Toxic free living

  What I’d like to do is when people click on one of those headers, another drop down appears with the name of the blog post, so they can then click on the specific blog post they are looking for.

  How can I do this?

  Many thanks :-)

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

  Hi there – There’s no automatic way to do this. You could use Custom Links to create submenus with each post:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  This would be time-consuming for you, though, and if you had a lot of posts in the dropdown it would be difficult for your readers to navigate.

  You might consider making some sort of index on its own page; we have some tips here:

  Hi,

  Many thanks for your reply. Do you have an example of what an index would look like?

  Also is there a place where I can view all of my submitted support questions?

  Hi Sarah – I think the example given in that post is a good one:

  Also, some of the commenters on that post mentioned they’d created indexes, so you might check out their blogs.

  There is not currently anywhere to review all your support questions, although that’s something I hope we add in future. :)

  Hi,

  So sorry, I don’t think I explained myself very well. Here is an example:
  http://petescully.com

  If you hover over the header titled “SERIES” a drop down menu appears, each of which is an individual blog post that he has written. The reader can click on the blog post they would like to read.

  This is what I am trying to do.

  Please advise. Many thanks.

  Hi Sarah – Those are actually pages, not posts:
  Post vs. Page

  He’s given them the parent page of “series” so they’re nested under that tab. You can do that, or if you want to use posts and not pages, you can set up a custom menu and use the ‘Custom links’ feature to create subtabs for each of your posts manually:

  Let me know if you have further questions about that!
