Not sure if I ‘m missing something? Is there something I need to do to show subnav menu items? I’m using BuddyPress on standard, non-MU WP and the default buddypress theme. Thanks much for your help!

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Do you mean like nested Pages in the main nav? If so, not by default.

[Mr. Salty]

Yeah I do. Wasn’t sure if it was default or not. Thanks Paul. Will look for ways to add it. Thanks much.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Digging into this, we ought to create a ticket to get BP 1.3 to use wp_nav_menu()

[Mr. Salty]

@Paul_Gibbs By the way – since you mentioned that function: Newbie here. Googling now. Is the wp_nav_menu() function something I can simply add to a script/template file and it will display submenus? Thanks much…

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Not necessarily, wp_nav_menu() is the function to load any WordPress menu (as introduced in 3.0). I’m not sure how to do this, I haven’t looked into it.

[Mr. Salty]

Actually just saw this: seems pretty easy to implement WP3.0 menus into current WP… well, at least part of WP3.0 menu functionality perhaps. Am testing it now. Will update…

[Mr. Salty]

Actually I’m a dummy. That looks like its just a way to add wp3.0 menu support for anyone building a wp3.0 theme… I think.

[James Bullis]

I just used it and successfully added the new menu feature to my BuddyPress installation.

[James Bullis]

Of course this didn’t really work for the subnav. I’ll probably have to see how it was coded through Twenty Ten to see how I can make it work as a drop down.

[Mr. Salty]

@jmbullis oh really? that’s great. will have to test it out.

[Mr. Salty]

@jmbullis You added add_theme_support( ‘nav-menus’ ); to your theme’s functions.php and to your theme’s header.php?

[Mr. Salty]

hold one – was stripped:

@jmbullis You added add_theme_support( ‘nav-menus’ ); to your theme’s functions.php and wp_nav_menu( ‘sort_column=menu_order&container_class=navigation’ ); to your theme’s header.php?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

If you can conjure it up or even do a patch, I could see it getting into BP 1.3.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Oh, it’s not too hard actually. Add the wp_nav_menu call, and then the “Menu” styles from TwentyTen – i.e. the #access stuff.
