How to Add pages to your main (Black) menu.
In the header.php add:
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>
So you change this:
<ul id="nav" class="clearfix">
<li class="<?php if (((is_home()) && !(is_paged())) or (is_archive() && !(is_category())) or (is_single()) or (is_paged()) or (is_search())) { ?>current-cat<?php } else { ?>cat-item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'wpbx' ) ?></a></li>
<!– change "depth=3" to suit your menu depth level, and change "exclude=x" with the category ID that you want exclude from the menu (multiple categories separated by , (comma) –>
<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=ID&order=ASC&depth=3&title_li=&exclude='); ?>
<li id="m-subscribe"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOURFEEDBURNERUSERNAME"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/YOURFEEDBURNERUSERNAME?bg=e33258&amp;fg=ffffff&amp;anim=0" height="26" width="88" style="border:0" alt="" /></a></li>
</ul>
To this:
<ul id="nav" class="clearfix">
<li class="<?php if (((is_home()) && !(is_paged())) or (is_archive() && !(is_category())) or (is_single()) or (is_paged()) or (is_search())) { ?>current-cat<?php } else { ?>cat-item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'wpbx' ) ?></a></li>
<!– change "depth=3" to suit your menu depth level, and change "exclude=x" with the category ID that you want exclude from the menu (multiple categories separated by , (comma) –>
<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=ID&order=ASC&depth=3&title_li=&exclude='); ?>
<strong> <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?></strong>
<li id="m-subscribe"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOURFEEDBURNERUSERNAME"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/YOURFEEDBURNERUSERNAME?bg=e33258&amp;fg=ffffff&amp;anim=0" height="26" width="88" style="border:0" alt="" /></a></li>
</ul>
Remember when you add this code pages AND categories will be visible on the menu.
If you only want to show a couple of pages add this string:
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&exclude=1,2,3′); ?>
Where 1,2,3 are the page numbers you want to exclude.

Hi Cip,
If I understand what your saying correctly you want to have a featured category in your sidebar. You can achieve this by adding a category called featured_sidebar or something like that under the posts tab in your dashboard. Then within your sidebar template place the cat number and how many posts you want to show.
Quite. So. standard we have a featured category who is displayed in sidebar, it dosent matter wich category article are you reading in sidebar its always featured category ( yours its theme support ) . Lets supose that featured category its Y
All i want its that a guest is reading an aricle form category X i dont want to be desplayed in sidebar the Y ( fatured category ) i want to be desplayed the X category. and so on if reading from Z in sidebar to be Z categpry not Y . thank you in advance

Marco,
I did as you say above, and I get this error:

What could be causing this error?
Hi there,
Firstly, thanks for a great resourse! Very helpful.
One question I have for the menu in the Stars Theme, is how to re-order the menu to an order I would like it to be, instead of being in the order when they were created?
Thanks
