Widget Problem

  My sidebar consists of the normal type menus: pages, archives, blogroll etc.

  What I want to do is to open up another menu and call it ‘Recipes’ I want to put twenty or so recipes under that menu heading using Pages as opposed to Posts. As you can guess the Pages will be static.

  I’ve tried setting the Recipe menu manually in my sidebar.php with the intention of adding the individual recipes as I post them e.g. Apple Pie. The difficulty is that once I click post I get a duplicate in the Page menu.

  Here’s what I’m thinking of doing

  1. Get rid of the page widget as it seems to be messing me up with double entries.

  2. Make a new “Pages” list and put only those pages you want to show up manually with code.

  Pages (or call it something else if you like)
  -about me
  -about the site
  -contact and so forth

  3. Make an “Recipe” list and add the recipes manually.

  Recipes
  -First recipe
  -Second recipe
  -Etc.

  I would only intend to post Pages on a weekly basis so there is not really much hassle in doing the business manually but I would like to be able to do it more automatically but can’t figure out how.

  I can still hold onto the likes of Archive widget

  Any suggestions.

  If you have accesss to your .php files you’re in the wrong place and need to ask at wordpress.org.
