Hi Azri,
you have to use the “Heading” type for your menu item (you need Menubar 3.0 beta 6 for this, “Heading” is not available in the previous versions).

Thanks for the great plugin.
How can you make a page/subpage non clickable like on your menu “WP Menubar > Templates for 2.3″

Thanks.

Hi James,

thanks for your feedback, I’m going to install Firefox 3.0 to dig into this!

Another bug – using Firefox 3.0 the menus disappear under the following condition:

1. Move your pointer over a column and move down over a link as normal.
2. Hold the pointer still for a second or two (inactive)
3. Move the pointer slightly, still within the menu however

The menubar disappears, as if it thinks you’ve moved outside the menu.

Hi Derek,

currently there is only one template for 3.0 beta, but of course you can customize the CSS file to suit your preferences. To change the mouse-over style, you can change the rule

#wpmnav li:hover,
#wpmnav li.wpmhover {
background: #1C86EE;
}

and/or add another rule like

#wpmnav li:hover a,
#wpmnav li.wpmhover a {
color: red;
}

Happy customization!

That worked out, thanks! Another question I had is how you get the drop down menus to change color or something when the mouse is over it? Also including the parent menu to change color when you are on a sub menu. Are there any other templates for v3 beta 5? Other than Suckerfish? Thanks!

Hello Spirit,

in a PageTree set-up the sub-menus are generated by calling the WordPress function wp_list_pages(), so the generated HTML is not controlled by the plugin code.

If you don’t use the PageTree but just add each page individually, the whole menu structure is generated by the plugin code, so you can modify it according to your needs.

Hope this helps!

Hello Derek,

please make sure you modified the right line, try changing:

#wpmnav {
margin: 10px 10px 0 10px;
…
}

with, for instance

#wpmnav {
margin: 10px 8px 0 8px;
…
}

Let me know if this works for you!

Hey Andrea,
Great Widget!
I have a few issues however because I need images within the menu and was hoping that you could help me out.
I’ve managed to add an extra div to the top level links using the wpm3.php file – I needed 2 background images for each tab so that the tab image stretches to match longer and shorter tab (link) titles. This works great other than a bit of a flashing issue in IE6.
My issue is that I need little arrow icons in the drop down and flyout menus next to each link that has a subsequent drop down or flyout, but I don’t want arrows beside EVERY link! Just those that have another sub-menu. Problem is I can’t find where to add another div tag – any changes I make to the wpm3.php ONLY affect the top level links and the very end of each sub-menu. Where do I go in the .php files to see the structure of the actual sub-menus? Or can you think of another way to accomplish this?
I am using the Page-Tree set-up so that it is nice and easy for the client to update. Maybe this is only possible if I add each page individually?

BTW. I love that it automatically updates the menu whenever a page is added!

Thanks Andrea!

Just had a question, is there a way to change the width of the menu bar? It’s naturally just a few pixles to wide for the theme. I tried to change the margins in the css file but that did nothing for me. Thanks!
