How to use a custom menu in your WordPress website

Custom menus are advanced functionality for controlling the content of the menus built into Wordpress since version 3.0.

They are meant to be used when the auto-generated menus no longer suit the desired content/functionality of the site or when custom links / custom structures are needed.

Parabola 112 is no emergency

Nothing is burning, nothing blew up, no zombie invasion, no reason to call 112.
The latest Parabola update drops in to solve the last outstanding issue “featured” in the 1.1.0 release and add three new options.

Parabola 1.1.1(.1) flexes with glasses

We like ones so much we made three more Parabolas 1.1… We actually don’t like them so much, we kind of had to…

Parabola 1.1.1.1 fixes the outstanding issues with double widgets in the sidebar and lack of responsiveness introduced in 1.1. For the missing presentation page…

Parabola 1.1.0 sees double

It’s here! The first step forward after reaching maturity, Parabola 1.1.0 packs a long list of changes, improvements and, of course, fixes. It’s not trying to be perfect (more on this later) but it does its best to evolve and grow.

To expand a bit on the new features, changes, fixes and bundled issues, Parabola 1.1.0…

Maintenance notice

Sunday, September 8th we’ve moved things to a new server.

To keep our website content consistent we made everything read-only on the old server – no new comments / forum topics / support requests are accepted.

If you are seeing this message then you are getting content from the new server, and everything should work for you. If you encounter any issues, let us know.

Parabola 0.9.7(.2) gets approved by WordPress

Yay! Parabola has been (finally) approved by Wordpress, so it should become live in the next couple of hours/days (who knows… weeks?). and is now live and available for install with just two clicks!

There’s a bit of version mess because of the needed last minute changes required for approval. All three versions (0.9.7, 0.9.7.1 and 0.9.7.2) are mostly the same, the latter two coming with small changes that don’t affect the functionality in any way.

Mantra 2.0.7.1 fixes the menu

Always when changing things around (theoretically improving) there’s bound for something to go wrong.

In this case, the main menu dropdown functionality failed on Wordpress installations that used the automatically-generated menu (not custom menus). But this is now fixed.
