WordPress Menu Support for Older Themes

September 6, 2011 by Cotton Rohrscheib Leave a Comment

As a lot of you that are die-hard WordPress users are probably already aware, WordPress has launched their new menu builders under the appearance tab. The menu builder will allow you to create a menu from any categories, pages and links, order them by drag and drop, create submenus, etc.

This is something that I am pretty sure was contributed to core from the good people at WooThemes, because they had this for a while in some of their theme settings. In the event you have an older WordPress Theme and would like to have this functionality but inside the dashboard you keep getting a notice that your theme is not compatable, here’s what you can do…

Locate your theme directory/ functions.php and add this line of code:

Secondly, locate your theme directory/header.php file and add/edit this line of code:

Once these two files have been modified you should be able to log back into your wordpress installation dashboard and select the menu option under appearance and get started.
