Title:Wordpress Site and Database problems

Location:Anywhere

Job Description

I\'m new to wordpress and php but have been getting by until now.

I installed the piano-black theme a while ago annd have had no troubles with it till now. I have a large quantity of pages and products and I still have to add more. The trouble is that now if I add any page to the menu either sub or main the navigation bar will drop the latest top level page.

It is like I have reached a critical amount and cannot add any more. Is this the case with the theme? I expect it isn\'t but I\'m completely at a loss as to why this is happening. I need someone to look at the code and figure out why this is happening.

I had previously installed a plugin that I think caused a conflict with another. I deactivated this and deleted it and thought that this had solved the problem. It seems that maybe it hasn\'t.

Techincal requirements:
WordPress Plugin
PHP
CSS
MySQL
HTML

Hi Oliver,

the problem maybe due to the menu css width already being fix to some pixel, so the next page added cause it to drop the page.

You can try to change the width by applying 100% rather than specific pixel so it become fluid width.

Anuar

Hi, thanks for the reply. I don't think I made myself clear. It is not a case of it dropping the page or even not displaying the new page in the nav bar. It is the fact that the nav bar does not link to the page. I have chacked the permalinks and urls and they are fine (please see what I mean) - http://www.gardnertackle.net/wordpress/ - the contact page is the problem. This had the plugin that I think conflicted with another I installed. Ever since it has not been read properly.

Actually I think you may be right it seems that it is the theme throwing out nav bar. I will try what you suggest. Many thanks again.

Here is the url - http://www.gardnertackle.net/wordpress/ - it is the contact page not working. Thanks to the later reply I have realised it is the theme causing the problem.
O. W.O. W. on 31/03/2011 12:12
You are right, it is the theme, I changed to Twenty ten and it worked fine.

Yeah you're right, well that's new it had been fine last time I looked. I have deacitvated all the plugins that I thought might be causing this issue with no luck. The pages seem to be losing their urls within the nav bar. Weird...
A. I.A. I. on 31/03/2011 12:50
Okay then,

Right now am downloading the piano theme, also please inform me with the plugin that you use, so I can take a look at my local server what have been wrong with.
