automated theme generator? wow, what will they think of next? Wink

well not sure how to help you though if you cannot find how the menu is being generated. It HAS to be generated (or at least initiated) by your theme… it wont be in any of the forum admin – we have nothing to do with it…

only other suggestion might be for you to create us a temp wp admin account and PM us the details to take a look…

Did you ever visit the forum – options – global display settings spf admin panel and uncheck the'display forum/topic title in page' option?

Hi Papa

I now tried the forum on a standard WP theme and it also give the same problem. If I use the funktions inside the forum it will change my "forum" button in my WP menu to whatever funktion I choose inside the forum.

For example if I chosse "profile" in the forum then "manage members profile" will appear in my WP menu where it supposed to be the button named "forum"

What I mean is that it has nothing to do with the Artisteer theme creator I used. I tried it on a standard WP theme and get the same "bug"
Im very interested to solve the problem so if you want some screendumps of the incident I can send You that – or please send me your adress where I can send you a login and pass for the blog as You suggest, thanks

I am sorry but yes – the problem exists in the WP default theme becauae – as I said right at the top – it is a bug in WP and the WP default theme also uses the wp_list_pages() to create the page list – or menu.

You said above that you found a function in the theme – art_menu_items() – so did you look through the code in that function t see if there was a mention of wp_list_pages() or wp_list_menu(). This is still what you need to find. Look through the code for one of these…

Also Steve suggested you may have some sort of admin panel for that therme (in the WP 'Appearance' menu). Did you look into that?

Hey Yellow :-)

I did not find exactly the options You ask for in the "function art_menu_items()" file
But I found something with "wp_list" :

add_action('wp_list_pages', 'art_list_pages_filter') ?

About the WP "Appearance" section there is a "Editor" where You might be able to edit the CSS stylesheet , and here I find

"wp_list_pages()"

I found it in some section called

/*begin menu/*
/*menustructure/*

Hope Im on the right way now – What do i do to this CSS ?

This can not be done with CSS
There will be a function named 'art_list_pages_filter() almost certainly in the same code file as you found the above add_action statement. Find that function, copy the content (just that one function) and send it to us.

It must be this one Yellow ?

function art_list_pages_filter($output)
{
global $artThemeSettings;
$pref ='page-item-';
if($artThemeSettings['menu.topItemIDs'])
  foreach($artThemeSettings['menu.topItemIDs'] as $id){
   $output = preg_replace('~<li class="([^"]*)\b(' . $pref . $id . ')\b([^"]*)"><a ([^>]+)>([^<]*)</a>~',
    '<li class="$1$2$3"><a $4>' . $artThemeSettings['menu.topItemBegin']
     . '$5' . $artThemeSettings['menu.topItemEnd'] . '</a>', $output, 1);
  }

I have no idea what they are doing there.
You know I realy think it is about time you went back to the theme authors and asked them, how to exclude a page from your 'menu'. There has to be a simpler way as it would be a common requirement.

Well Yellow

They asked me to run the SimplePress with a standard WP theme (the simple one) and I did.
The SP forum results in the same bug on that as it do on my Artisteer created Theme.
Its not a mistake by them its a mistake by wordpress so i really dont know what to do next ?

Does it mean you are only able to fix it – if I use a WP standard theme ?
