JQuery + WordPress Menus = Simple, but Amazing
Today I was asked by a client to add 3rd level drop-down menus to an existing WordPress site.
JQuery to the rescue! The previous web guy had used Superfish, which is a fine system on its own, but he’d only used the bits and pieces he really needed. Thus, when two-level nested menus became three, the script was not able to handle it.
First step: Use what they already had without reinventing the wheel:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2'); ?>Became:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=3'); ?>And Christian at Kresi.at provided a nice starting point for me to jump from using JQuery in WordPress menus. He really should be applauded for such a simple solution. I just had to style the 3rd tier menus and I was set! (Text blurred to protect client identity).
I also managed to wrangle in Image Uploading issues – caused by two separate problems on two different sites. Freeing up a bit of file permissions did the trick on one, and discovering that there was an entire duplicate WordPress installation elsewhere and re-directing the uploads folder fixed the second.
The whole line of fixes and menu additions took a little over 3 hours. A total success for myself and the client!
