Menubar 4.7
Menubar 4.7 improves the PageTree and CategoryTree item types, adding the Exclude and the Headings multiselect fields.
The Exclude field lets you specify which pages or categories, if any, you wish to exclude from the generated menu tree.
The Headings field lets you specify which pages or categories, if any, you wish to display like headings, making them non clickable.
These two new fields, together with the Depth field introduced in Menubar 4.6, should offer you greater flexibility in building page and category menus.
As usual, you can find the Menubar documentation and download links in the main menu of this site. Thank you for your interest in Menubar!

Hi Andrea,
I love menubar but am a noob when it comes to css and php. I would like to change the font on the menubar of my site, preferrably to Trebuchet MS or another sans serif font, and would also like to force all caps if it is doable. Can you assist?
Hi John,
if you are using Superfish with ssf-blue.css, you have to add to ssf-blue.css the font-family and the text-transform declarations:
.ssf-blue-wrap {...
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
...
}
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Hi, I’m new to Wordpress. I was looking for menu plugins and found yours very interesting. I use Wordpress 3.0 with INOVE Theme, and menubar.
I tried to integrate the inove menubar css template. I have the following problem. When I comment the lines between the “” and “” tags and add the “” tag, the HOME PICTURE disappears, the goes a little bit to the left escaping the Theme template but the menu works perfectly. When i don’t comment the lines between the MENU tags and leave just the home link and the inove menubar tag, visually it goes perfectly, but the Submenus and other CSS stuff dont work. The menu stays statically.
Am I doing something wrong ? I did exactly what was said at menubar side to integrate it to the template.
My site is above to see. It’s configured with menu only, without the Home Picture as frist menu.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Felipe,
I think you need to add a FrontPage type as the first menu item, because the iNove design requires it. Otherwise you’ll get the effect you are getting now, which is not bad if you like it!
Hello. I’m using Menubar on my site. Working great. I’d like to add a “Share on Facebook” button on the menu, and was able to using the “custom HTML” option. But the problem is I’d like to let it appear only if the user is outside of China (because Facebook is blocked in China, and the button’s Facebook code would cause the page to load forever).
I tried using the Country Filter plugin (http://www.codediesel.com/plugins/country-filter/). It allows me to use either short code or PHP, but neither of them seem to work with the “custom HTML” option. (Short code displays as regular text. PHP code gets ignored.)
Do you have any ideas for what else I can try to have that menu item be excluded from users in a certain country? Thanks.
Hi Daniel,
I can suggest a workaround using two different menus with the Country Filter plugin.
<?phpif (this page is called from China)
do_action('wp_menubar','menu_for_China');
else
do_action('wp_menubar','standard_menu');
?>
Of course the downside is that you’ll have to maintain two different menus…
@andrea
Andrea,
I apologize for the basic beginner question, I didn’t realize that this option existed
. Worked like a charm. Thank you very very much.
Thank you again.
Hi Felipe,
don’t worry, everyone has been a beginner! I’m glad I was able to answer your question.
Firstly, great plugin – have been using it on many sites and works like a charm.
Have come across a different circumstance I haven’t used Menubar for. The current project is built on WP3.0 and Buddypress and wanting to re-create the buddypress menu using Menubar. Is there a way to pass the currently logged in user name to menubar so that a menu option like ‘Edit profile’ can be directed to /members/UserName/profile/ for example?
Hi Simon,
that feature is planned for a future release, it’s not available yet. Sorry!
I can’t seem to get the dropdowns to function properly I’m using a modified Inove theme with Wordpress 3.0 and Menubar 4.7.
I have a menubar created and have been successfully using it without the drop down for some time but would love to have the drop down features work.
I’m using inove without css for the menubar.
Any ideas?
Hi Shelby,
your Menubar installation looks fine. There are two JavaScript errors on your site, with the Nextgen Smooth Gallery and the Clicky Web Analytics plugins, so you could try to deactivate those two plugins and see if the dropdowns start working. If not, deactivate all plugins. As a last try, restore the original iNove theme. My guess is that some plugins or some theme modifications are conflicting with the iNove menu dropdown.
I don’t think that’s it because this is the first plugin I installed, and also I tried out the suckerfish template and it worked fine except for breaking the theme slightly.
It’s just the inove without css that won’t do dropdowns.
I just tried deactivating the plugins as suggested but it didn’t work. The theme modifications just included enlarging the main box and reducing the right sidebar.
Any other ideas or ways I could check it?
@Shelby
Shelby,
can you confirm that the Menubar template “inove without CSS” works with the original iNove theme and without plugins? If so, start from there and add all your theme modifications and plugins, one at a time, and note when it stops working. Please let me know!
Okay just did as recommended, you we’re absolutely right.
It’s reacting with a plugin by the name of Next Gen Smooth Gallery
As seen here:
uninuni.com/wordpress-plugin-nextgen-smooth-gallery/
It’s to be used in conjunction with NextGEN Gallery which works fine by itself but once the NextGEN Smooth Gallery is used the menubar turns off.
I’d be happy to add you on my blog if it would help you figure it out. Please email me if you want.
Thanks,
Shelby
Hi andrea,
I was hoping you can help me here, I wish to have a archived by month list under my menu Item “news”, can i able to do that?
Hi Gary,
it’s not possible with the current version (unless you add those menu items as External types), but I’ll try to add that feature in the next Menubar release. Thanks for your suggestion!
Gary,
I am using menubar with Thesis and love it.
I am getting ready to upgrade my version of Thesis and need to backup/export my menu out so that it can be imported into my test site.
Can this be done?
Thx
Dave
Hi Dave,
it’s not possible to export the Menubar data automatically, but you could try to manually copy the ‘menubar’ option from one DB to the other (see comment #1066).
i am testing your plugin on nigrpregnancy.xtreemhost.com,looks good but i can’t get drop down to work.
Hi Tim,
to get a dropdown menu you need a multilevel template like Suckerfish or Superfish. You can see the demo site for reference.
Hey andrea,
is there still hope for another release from you or is this plugin dead after WP 3.0.1 has nav support?
greetings
Peter
p.s. I use your plugin on almost all my sites – very easy to use
