This tutorial will teach you how to change the default output of this manager, since getting a custom output can heavily improve the style of your themes.

In this article, we will discuss different classes that are added by default within the WordPress menus that we can use to style each individual menu.

In this article I want to show an example in which are the main pages in a horizontal navigation. The related sub-pages are displayed in the sidebar when you click on the main page.

One of the most common features on any blog or website is category highlighting showing you which category you’re in or the page is in. WordPress, by default, does not have a function to do this. Thus it’s up to us developers to write our own custom functions to do this, and that’s exactly what’s I’m going to be teaching you in this tutorial.

These navigation links (and their descriptions) are hard-coded into the theme, though, so they’re a little less flexible. For a theme I’m currently working on, I had an idea of creating a navigation like this but using a list of categories instead. The description text will then be pulled from each category’s description, which can be set directly via the Dashboard menu at Posts > Categories, therefore preventing users from having to mess with PHP file:

Breadcrumbs are a great way to give people a perspective of where they are on your site. In this post I will explain how to add breadcrumbs to WordPress without using a plugin. Adding this feature will also help the search engine spiders to find the structure of your site and decrease the time it takes to index a single page. A lot of wordpress theme developers like to use as few plugins as possible and this code will help you accomplish that.

Implementing a solid set of navigational links for your WordPress site is one of the best ways to encourage visitors to stick around awhile and check out additional content.

The goal of the button was to provide three states: regular, hover, and active (pressed). That is standard of any good button, but we were going to integrate some fading effects into it to really making the button satisfying to interact with.

When it comes to navigating sequentially through your site’s chronological archive pages, category archives, and other types of archive pages, WordPress provides several useful template tags designed to dynamically link the pages together. Likewise, for single permalink post-views, WordPress provides a set of template tags that connects the pages together in chronologically sequential fashion.

In this first post i will explain how to wrap either your page or category menu title within “span” tags, this can be useful when theming wordpress menus with images like we have her at WPscoop. On with the code then.
