sub page content link to for readers to see without showing page tab?
-
Hi!
Is it possible to link to a page (not a post) located in the menu bar without having that page show in the menu bar? For example: Menu bar category “Ceramics” having a link to “From the Ground Up: 5000 Years of Ceramics” can be done and has been done. However, can that same link exist without a tab in the menu bar for “From the Ground Up: 5000 Years of Ceramics”?
Thank you,

Hi Victoria,
It sounds like you want to set up a custom menu with subitems.
You can do this here:

Does that help you do what you want? Let me know if I can help further!

Hi Shawna,
Thank you for your response. I read through that information, and perhaps I am missing the solution. I had set up a custom menu with subitems. What I would like to do is simplify the appearance of the content. My goal is to have a menu item, for example “Ceramics” as the visible, front facing page. Once opening the menu page”Ceramics” have links to further content–for example “Ceramic Essay 1”, “Ceramic Essay 2”, “Kiln Map 1” “Kiln Map 2”. I wish for these subitems (“Ceramic Essay 1”, “Ceramic Essay 2”, “Kiln Map 1” “Kiln Map 2”) to be created as pages, yet not appear visible, front facing, and only accessed through the link located on “Ceramics”. Do you know if this can be done on this platform –linking to menu pages while the menu pages are not front facing? -

PS. If that can not be done, I thought that I could create another blog (content for designivspace) and then have the menu item “Ceramics” with its content including the links, link to additional content (“Ceramic Essay 1”, “Ceramic Essay 2”, “Kiln Map 1” “Kiln Map 2”.) located elsewhere. Ideally, I would like to have all the content both that front facing and not on the same blog.
Thank you again for your help and insight!

It sounds like maybe you want to create that submenu as a completely separate menu, then you can add it in the widget area of the page you open:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/custom-menu-widget/
It also looks like all of your menu items are what we call ‘top level’. This means that they all appear in your menu, rather than creating drop down menus. You can create drop down menus by dragging the menu item to the right until its ‘indented’ from the parent item above it.
Does either of these options do what you want?

Let me know if that doesn’t do what you want! I can help you figure out another way to do this. :)
