Alternatively, you can apply the changes manually to each file, and follow the steps listed below. Make a backup copy of the theme files that you will be changing, in case the result is not as expected.
modify functions.php
Add the following code to your functions.php
// register navigation menus if WordPress version supports it
add_action( 'init', 'ithemes_register_menu' );
function ithemes_register_menu() {
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menu' ) ) {
// Add 3.0+ menu support
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'ithemes_add_scripts' );
function ithemes_add_scripts() { ?>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$(" #menu ul").css({display: "none"}); // Opera Fix
$(" #menu li").hover(function(){
jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "visible",display: "none"}).show(440);
},function(){
jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "hidden"});
});
});
</script>
<?php }
if ( ! function_exists( 'wp_nav_menu' ) ) {
function wp_nav_menu( $args ) {
call_user_func( $args['fallback_cb'] );
}
}
function ithemes_navigation() {
wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'primary', 'container' => 'div', 'container_id' => 'menu', 'fallback_cb' => 'ithemes_render_menu'));
}
function ithemes_render_menu() {
wp_page_menu(); //takes default arguments from functions.php
}
modify header.php
Replace, towards the end of the header.php file:
<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>
with
<?php ithemes_navigation(); ?>
