Hi

Quick question. I'd like to split the listings for 'Chisels' on this page, into separate
pages, ie 'carving chisels', 'bevel chisels', and have each new page as a dropdown
from the secondary main 'Chisels' link in the secondary menu bar.
http://www.hackneytools.com/forsale

However, I would then need to kill-off the Chisels page as it now is, so that people
aren't clicking on a main page, but have to choose one of the child pages for that
category. How do I only show a main category in the secondary bar, but not actually
have it as a real page any more??

Sorry, this is probably a very basic question, but I can't get my head around it.

Thanks
Gary

If you are using a custom menu, just use a "Link" for "Chisels"and put "#" in the link address.

Hi Kenneth

Al working, except did you mean a '#' in the Permalink box, after http://www.hackneytools.com ?

That didn't clear the 'Planes' page, I can still click on it, so I guess you mean somewhere else?

Thanks

Sorry, I should say I changed the 'Planes' nav, not the Chisels nav, that one is next. I split Planes into
Wooden and Metal, and just the Planes main page needs to be non-clickable now

Can someone help with the last bit of this when you have time please? Just wondering where to put
the '#' to kill off a link on the main page listed in the secondary menu.

Thanks

Hi Kenneth

Sorry, feeling incredibly dumb here.

On the page I want to affect, I open that page, as though editing it, and it's blank,
apart from the title of the page, then above, there's a Permalink box, with the url
of the page? even though that has an 'Edit' button next to it, I can't wipe the whole
address and put in a hash obviously. Adding a hash at the end, instead of
'/planes' doesn't work either. Is this what you mean, or am I looking at the wring thing?

You need to be in the Menu editing pane, not the page editing pane.

Ah! Ok, so ok. I'm in that Menu. I have a dedicated custom menu for the 'For Sale' page, with
top level secondary menu items, and their child pages.

For the top level page I want to break the link on, I have 'Navigation Label', 'Title Attribute' and
a checkbox for 'Open link in a new window'. That's the only options I have? I don't see anything
to change a link?

If it's easier to point me to a tutorial Kenneth, please do so.

Thanks again
Gary
