Adding too many pages to a WordPress blog that has a navigation bar in the header can really make your Wordpress blog a mess. There are options to control what pages are shown in the navigation bar and even a way to add external links.

 

Ok, open folder where WordPress installed: wp-content/themes/YourThemeName/ and open header.php. And find this code:

<ul id="nav"><li><a href="/<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>">Home</a></li><?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?></ul>

How to add new sidebar in Your WordPress theme

Sometimes You need to use more then one sidebar, and in this article i'll show you how to create more sidebars in WP. I am assuming that you already know HTML and a bit of CSS.

Open folder wp-content/themes/YourThemeName/ If your theme has only one sidebar, then most probably you will NOT find a file called functions.php in your theme folder. In that case you will have to create this file yourself. Just open notepad or any other code editor to start a new file. Put this code into that file:<?phpif ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )register_sidebars(2);?> Save the file as functions.php and put it in your theme folder. This piece of code actually tells Wordpress to register two sidebars for you (See register_sidebars(2) in the code). If your theme has more than one sidebar or You use default WP theme, you will find the functions.php file already present in your theme folder. You just have to edit the number to your requirement and save the file. You can increase this number if you want more sidebars and if your theme's layout can accommodate it.
