Is there any way to make posts appear in horizontal nav bar instead of categories?

    Hi guys,

    I'm currently transferring my html site over to wordpress and am using the studiopress theme.

    It has a horizontal navbar under the header but the only way the buttons appear is if you add "categories" - I would rather have these buttons link to "posts" so that my on-page SEO isn't effected from the transfer.

    Is there any way to do this? I don't mind changing code here and there.

    Thanks

    Altug

    Can't you add a Latest Posts widget on the sidebar and show the posts?

    I can but it's not so much the latest posts I want on there. It is certain pages on my site that need to be stickied to the homepage - I don't want to restructure my whole site and mess with the onpage seo.

    @Altug

    header.php file contains the code to show category, find wp_list_categories function in the file and remove it and add ur desired links there. If u have the option to show/hide category in the theme admin panel then there should be some user defined function will be used. so find that function and add the links there. Hope this will be helpful.

    Kool Thanks! I think I understand.

    Does this same process apply for the child categories too? I have drop down menu's.

    Thanks again for the help!

    If your theme supports the custom menu function of Wordpress 3.0, you can create menu items that link to what ever you want. "Menu" is under the Appearance tab.
