Yes, you can place any links you like in any menu you choose.

Hi Michael,
I want my pages to appear below the website header and my categories as the top navigation. Is this possible? In other words I want to replace top navigation with category navigation so my pages appears where the category navigation is and my categories appear where the top navigation is.

Thanks.

On WP-Ellie, If you want a nav menu on the left, the only thing you could do is move the sidebar to the left and use a sidebar widget for the menu.

Hi, just signed up as well, I think am I have the same question.
Can I add a Left Side Menu to the left of the theme? Yes there are the standard sidebar widgets but I think the only go to the right of the main content.

So the question is… in my case using WP=Ellie I like the POSTS BY CAT – 3 WIDE layout but I would want to use this layout with the Sidebar to the left not the right… Is it just a matter of using the Sidebar Left layout then editing the content area to have a past by cat – 3 wide setup? (The sidebar left layout shows main content just as a list of blog entries).

I know I could try but I am not able to install the theme until tonight… so I sort of can’t wait to know

Thanks

Can you have a page as a navigation link and then drop down with categories. Yes, you can do that. Just add the links and drag them to where you want them. The breadcrumb (nav at the top of the post) will not work that way though. It will only show something like: home > category > subcategory > post title

Can you have a page as a navigation link and then drop down with categories – have done this but in the nav at the top of the post eg home/business directory/travel tourism/accommodation – business directory is a page and rest are categories but in the nav at the top of the post, the business directory is showing all the posts in blog form and not the page as in in the nav. Hope I have explained this ok for you

I’m not clear what you mean by a “left side menu.” You can place a menu in any of the sidebars by using a sidebar widget.
