Essentially, I've just installed Wordpress 3.0.1 on my webhost.

All was setup and running (Yay!)
Installed a theme called Fullscreen 2.3 http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/fullscreen/ beautiful theme, perfect for my needs but where is my navigation menu?! (Nay!!)
My webpage is http://www.cjonesphotography.co.uk/

Have the updated Wordpress 3.0.1 messed up the nav. panel? If so, can anyone help me fix it in layman terms? My level of script editing don't go pass 'find this script, replace with this'.

Much appreciated!
 
Hmm, you have a superfish menu built into the theme by the looks of things. You do have the menu on the page, but I think it is behind your logo..

The only thing in it is an about page, is that right?

3.0.1 shouldn't have done anything if you were already running 3.0, which introduced the custom menu system.
 
How would I be able to swap the logo and the menu layer?
I have the about page up, along with 3 different post, under a single category.
 
Right well, in your CSS, .sf-menu ul has a top value of -999em;

If you remove that then your about page shows up. But your menu is only pulling through your about page, not the category etc.

I'm afraid I can't help much more at the moment, but you may need to start digging in the theme files, probably the header if it is built well, and find out how the menu items are being listed.

A simple test would be to switch to the Twenty Ten theme and see if that menu displays correctly, then steal their menu code.
 
I had a look at my style.CSS

/* Navigation at rest */
#nav { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; padding:0; }
#branding #nav { position: absolute; top: 42px; left:600px;}
#masthead .sf-menu li a:hover {color:#fff;}

That's the only .sf-menu shown in the script...
 
Ok. It seems like there is a work around. I can add menus under the settings but they can't be done to show drop downs. Any idea?

Their menu system definitely allows drop downs when you organise it with the hierarchy in the custom menu system.

Have you tried switching over to the Twenty Ten theme to see what that is doing?
 
When I switch to Twenty Ten, I can only see the about page.

How do I do a hierarchy in custom menu system?

Edit, I've just added 2 menus, Home and about. It's displaying them but not as a drop down, even though they're both under the same navigation menu.

That's good on the Twenty Ten front, consistency is king.

In the menu system, you want 1 menu. And then do as Confused says and set child items by dragging it under, onto, to the right of the parent.. it should show you nicely that its a child..
 
Aye, but the nav bar is not the original. It's an added version using the Wordpress Widget. Nonetheless, it's all working and I'm pleased :)

Thanks all!
