hi, how to make a drop down menu? I just made a blank portfolio page and also a photography page and assigned the portfolio as the parent. Then i went to theme settings and put the portfolio menu in navigation. Am i missing something here?

thanks

Under theme settings go to "Navigation" then activate "Enable dropdown menu for ...... and below that you can click "show down arrow to indicate dropdown menu"

ok. thanks for the reply. I am sorry but i still dont get this. After i enable those two options, i get the + and -. i have to click + and type in "Portfolio"(do i have to create Portfolio blank page?), then drag the "Photography" menu to the bar...is this right? and where do i type in [bfnav name="Portfolio" style="navbarsep"]? do i have to type this in Portfolio or Photography? Also what is navbarsep?

Do you have any tutorials that i can follow? The FAQ isnt really helping me since i am new to this blog or wordpress.

thanks

are you talking about drop down menu or separate navigations? You get the + only if you check the "Enable the multiple navigation functionality" setting.

to create a dropdown menu you have to enable "Enable dropdown menu for" pages or categories and add items that have children (f.ex add a page with children and all the children of that page will be included in the dropdown menu).

oh i turned on wrong check box i guess. Where exactly "Enable dropdown menu for" is? I am looking all over the place. I know you replied in another post it is in misc, but just cant find it. were you talking about "Theme Settings" > "Misc"??

thanks

it's in the Navigation tab just below where you add stuff to the navigation.
