   Hi

   Just started using Wordpress and Thematic. Its the first theme I tried and it looks like I pick the right one. Im very impressed with the support and information available on this forum.

   However Im just currently a little stuck with some changes I want to make.
   Im using a child thematic theme.

   1. On my home page I want to show a single page not 'posts'.
   Ive sorted that by using the admin interface and creating a new page and making this the front page in the settings.

   2. Ive then removed the 'posts' from any page.

   3. But I want to add links to the menu that direct to the the post categories such as 'New Posts' > '...com/?cats=1'
   Looking at some other posts, I know I should be using stuff such as;
   function child_add_menu_items($output) {
   ....
   }
   add_filter('wp_page_menu','child_add_menu_items');
   and
   wp_list_categories(.... (somewhere)

   But Ive not been able to get it quite right. Can anyone help?

   4. I also want to add some other pages to the menu bar but dont want this code to have an affect on the links above.

   Thanks in advance!

   Hi

   I have now tried the following code;

   function remove_thematic_access() {
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
   }
   add_action('init','remove_thematic_access');

   function my_category_access() { ?>
   <div id="access">
   <div class="skip-link">"><?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></div>
   <div class="menu">
   <ul class="sf-menu">
   <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=') ?>

   </div><!-- .menu -->
   </div><!-- #access -->
   <?php }
   add_action('thematic_header','my_category_access',9);

   function child_add_cat_menu($cat_menu) {

   $search = array('/<li class="categories">/','/

   /',"/<\/li>$/");
   $replace = array('<ul class="sf-menu"><li class="categories">','','');
   return preg_replace($search, $replace, $cat_menu, 1);
   }
   add_filter('wp_list_categories','child_add_cat_menu');

   That I found on this post;
   http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/menu-navigation

   Is there no a more simple way that doesnt use the wp_list_categories as I notice this returns an ordered list (UL etc..) which is replaced to show the categories as main navigation points.

   Could get_categories be used to grab and array and used in a simpler function?
   Plus I dont want to loose the standard page menu items I have added.

   Thanks

   Dave
