The Internet Money Blog…

I was working on a new site and I really needed to add Categories to the Top Menu of my Artisteer Theme, as you know their top menu has been difficult to work with and links come out looking FUNKY! when you try to change it.

I did some researching on the Artisteer Forum and found this code, it allows you to add Categories to the top menu bar and all of the links will look & work properly…

<li>
<a href=”#” title=”Category Tab”>
<span></span>
<span></span>
<span>Category Tab</span></a>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=0&title_li=’); ?>
</ul></li>

How to use this code…

1. Login to your WP c-panel.
2. Click “Editor” in Appearance.
3. Click Header.php
4. Look for… <ul>
   <?php art_menu_items(); ?>
   </ul>
5. And Paste the code below that code just above.

Before and After Code Changes to Your Artisteer Top Menu to add a Category link.

Your Code Before:

<div class=”art-nav”>
<div class=”l”></div>
<div class=”r”></div>
<ul class=”art-menu”>
<?php art_menu_items(); ?>
[Place the Code Here without these Brackets]
</ul> </div>

Your Code After:

<div class=”art-nav”>
<div class=”l”></div>
<div class=”r”></div>
<ul class=”art-menu”>
<?php art_menu_items(); ?>
<li class=”page_item page-item-13″>
<a href=”Category URL Here” title=”Categories”>
<span class=”l”></span>
<span class=”r”></span>
<span class=”t”>Categories</span></a>
<ul><?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=0&title_li=’); ?>
</ul></li>
</ul> </div>

Just want to add a link? To link out to another web page, change this piece of code <a href=”Any URL Here” title=”Category Tab”>.

That’s it, You will have a fully functional Categories link in your Artisteer Top Menu.
