    Hi –

    Is there a way to customize how your tabs read? I’ve played with the menu setting but can’t figure it out. And, on a related note, is there a way to make the menu NOT in all caps? Our branding is all lower case, so I would love to continue that consistency if possible. Thanks!

    You can disable the capitalization from the theme settings.

    I am unsure what you mean about the menu and customizing how they “read”.

    great, thank you!

    right now, our about tab reads “About-purpose: art” and i would love for it to read “purpose: art | about”

    thank you!

    i guess i should have looked at the theme settings before my last post. can you be a little more specific about how to disable the capitalization? i looked, but i wasn’t able to locate it. thank you!

    Hi Brandi

    Disabling capitalization is the last option under Text Settings.

    As for changing the Menu lables you can do this under Menus and then opening up the particular menu item and putting in an alternative name in Navigation Label field.

    I hope this helps

    Hi Brandi

    My turn to read and reply too quickly, I see what you mean now about the tabs ie showing the page name followed site name. The Home page reads as you want it, but not sure how to make the other pages the same way.

    Cheers

    jim, as always, you are my hero! i have a couple more for you. i got the capitalization thing taken care of, but it didn’t uncapitalize “Home” in the menu. is there a way to do that? also, i was trying to get rid of the main menu and just have the top menu, but i can’t find a way to do that. i found a way that i thought would let me do it (by selecting only “top navigation” in the menu settings), but it didn’t work. i also found where i can hide BOTH the top navigation and main navigation menu, but not just the main navigation.

    the tab thing didn’t work for any of the tabs other than the home page, but it’s better than it was. thank you for all your help!

    Hi Brandi

    You could try this instead, not sure if it will work but worth a try.
    Set the Text Settings back to capitalized and try the following custom CSS instead.

    #access a {
    text-transform: lowercase;
    }

    As for the tabs they are generated dynamically but apparently the plugin “All in one SEO” has a place where you can change the tabs to read Site name | Page title.

    To hide the main menu I used to be able to do this under Customize > Navigation > and setting the Primary Navigation back to -Select- but that doesn’t seem to be working now.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Brandi

    In the meantime this custom CSS should hide the main menu.

    #access {
    display: none;
    }

    Cheers

    the hide the main menu, just create a new blank new menu and assigned it to Main navigation.
