Hi Sakin, Thanks for the tip – didn’t check the view all button which had the home:home sweet home listed.  To get this to work I had to delete the original from the menu and then add the home:home sweet home and then change the label.

However in doing so, the menu did not line up properly – right justified. Below is what I had in the free version. Any suggestions on how to correct this so that the menu and the last box lines up right justified?

This is what I have in the CSS box

What#header #mainmenu ul li:last-child { border-right: none; }
#header #mainmenu ul li:last-child a { padding: 0 16 px 0 17px; }

#main #content .wp-caption img { padding: 5px; }

Background colour

Also – I changed the colour on the header in the free version (see below), but the colour has not changed in the pro (still basic grey) even though its in the custom CSS.  Is there something I’m missing?

#header { background: none #eafdfc; }
#footer { background: none #dafcfa; }

Hi Sakin – Just figured it out.  Its not in the Menu, its in the permalinks.  I have a simple menu – no dropdown. In wordpress, by default the page title comes up in the page url rather than the nav when writing the page which is what you expect in a blog.  I’ve had to change the permalinks to reflect the nav.  i.e. Need Content in nav is http://www.iwrite…./need-content – rather than http://www.iwrite…/writing-for-the-web which is the page title for that page. That eliminates the duplication on the page. i.e. Need Content? Writing for the Web which was coming up as the titles for that page.

With respect to the duplicate breadcrumbs in the blog, I’ve checked the settings in NavTX and I’ve had to check if home page is static, drop name etc. This eliminated the duplicate name in the blog breadcrumb trail.

As the site was fine before I changed the front page to static today, I can only surmise that the issues is how wordpress handles landing pages i.e. blog or home page.  If others are thinking of a static frontpage, adjusting the Settings Reading may be a good idea before proceeding to writing all your pages and posts.

Thanks for your help, now onto the upgrade. If you can suggest anything I should watch out for, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help. – Karin

Hi Sakin, I am installing the up-grade today.  If you can clarify in the Free Version,

I am using Breadcrumb Nav XT.  My categories are

1st level category- internet marketing blog

– 3 sub -categories running off this parent – case studies, strategies, toolbox

At the momment in the breadcrumb trail I have a duplicate  internet marketing blog labels showing up on the breadcrumb trail.

If I eliminate the 1st level post category will this eliminate the duplication?Also I do not understand your response. Is this edit to be placed in the custom CSS in your theme, or do I have to edit the plugin?

Thanks for your help.

Just an upate.  You can tell I’m new at wordpress. So, I now understand to set static pages, you need  a page called  “blog”  which acts like a page and not a post.  And, that so long as I set the posts page to that “Blog page” in Settings, my posts will remain in place.  Great! Do I have to reset my sub-categories (I have 3 sub-categories) to the “parent” Blog page? Or does this matter?  And, do I have to reset the breadcrumb trail?

Now, what about the slider? Will this only appear on the “Blog” page? Or can I  also set the slider to appear on the “Home”  page as well as the “blog” page?  As the slider creates impact, I would like this set on the home page, and duplicated on the “blog” page if possible.

Thanks for your help.
