  Hi,

  It is possible to have menu (on the top of the page) in iNove based on ALL Pages(or Categories).
  I would like to have many pages but menu based only on some of them.

  For example,
  I need to have pages Events for each week of year (Event 01-01-2012, Event 08-01-2012, … Event 31-12-2012, etc)
  but menu should contain only about 10 of them.

  Is it possible for iNove theme?

  Thanks

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

  Yes it’s possible. What’s critical is:
  (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page. We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can either put the categories widget into the sidebar, or you can create a custom menu and add the categories into the custom menu.

  If you do not want all the posts to show on the main page, then you can create a static front page for your site and can also create a “blog” page, but you do not have to if you do not want to.

  Choice 1 static front page.
  Choice 2 running page for all posts on front page.

  Which do you choose? It’s one or the other.

  If you choose Choice 1 static front page then you have to create two pages. One for the static front page which you can call anything you choose example “Welcome”, and one for the blog posts to appear on which you can call anything you choose example “Blog”. Adter your do that you go here . Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Page tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or Tags pages and/or Custom Links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide.

  Sorry, did not catch how your answers are related with my question.

  >> If you do not want all the posts to show on the main page
  I did not ask about it

  Again.
  Theme iNove has menubar on the top of the page and has Theme Options:
  a) show pages as menu
  b) show categories as menu

  I need to have many pages but menubar should contain only some of them.
  Is it possible?

  Yes, you can do this.
  Create a new menu > Select the Pages you want to add > Add them to the menu > Theme location (a drop down list) > Assign the newly created menu as default. > Save changes.
