Wordpress Navigation Trouble

Hi guys.. I have played around with wordpress. But this was years ago. I was asked to start this blog about events in Syria.. I have to admit this is all a learning curve for me so far. Between widgets, SEO hosting, FTP, etc etc it's throwing me for a loop.. I am have a little problem with the blog at http://www.mideastpress.org. I found a good WP theme.. and I have managed to put in ads, so a bit of experimenting on seo. and playing with the footer links.. But for the life of me.. I CANNOT figure out how to put navigation links in the header section.. like you see on this "conspiracy" blog http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/03/16/the-mother-of-all-conspiracies-pt-7/.. What am I doing wrong?? I've looked through the wp menu over and over and again.. Cannot figure it out.. can someone please help me? my skype is richarab0420..
thank you in advanced

 

First you have to enable the custom menu for wordpress by putting the following code into your wp functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'menus' );

PHP:

that's it. you have activated wordpress multiple menus. Now add the following code to your wp header.php file or wherever you want to call the menu:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_class' => 'menu-header' ) ); ?>

PHP:

 

Thank you for the quick reply.. But I don't even have an HTML editor.. let alone know where to place the code on the header.php file... Hmmmmm. There is no option WITHIN the admin panel in wordpress?? It seems like this option would be standard.. Both sample websites I linked to are running practically the same theme..

 

There should be an editor under "Appearance" in the Admin Panel. Are you using wordpress.com?

 

no.. I am on a self hosted

 

And you don't see the Editor option under "Appearance?

 

yeah.. of course I see the editor option.. . with many files.. including functions.php and header.php as was mentioned..

 

where do I place the codes within these files??

 

Fffffffff.. sorry guys.. I'm not good at this..

 

Login to the WordPress dashboard.
Click Appearances.
Click Editor.

You may need to find your theme in the dropdown menu to the right.
Then follow the instructions you were given.

Alternatively you can edit these files through your FTP client.

 

Easier said than done.. I can't even copy and paste the code, let alone know what do to with it. Jeebus

 

Your forum name hits the nail on the head.. I feel like I am a "pile of crap" right now..
