I have had clean canvas theme for some time now and like it. I had added some other menu items at the top some time ago, *I'm talking about the smaller links to other websites in the top gray area. (It would also be great to be able to enlarge the text for those links as well.) Thanks, |

I would use the menu links module or the custom menus modules.

Dave, I believe I've got that module. However, last time I remember editing a file through FTP in my theme folder, or somewhere else. Make sense? Can you clarify if I need to do that, or "exactly" where I edit these fields.
Thanks,

I would suspect you edited a file manually as the formatting of the links are not like a module would do. I would revert your edits and use the module.
I'm not intamitly involved with the theme so can only offer that you compare the exsisting 'view' files of the theme with the originalas and go from there.
The other option is to get a copy of the theme and G3 on your client and FTP a copy of the remote files to your client (different folder) and compare them:

Well, I've downloaded the custom menus several times now, and added it into the modules folder where it should be and it is not to be found anywhere when I attempt to work with it through my site. Man, I just need help with this. I have a new menu item, a blog, that I want to link from my site, as shown above. Otherwise, like I said earlier in this thread, once before I believe you helped me to edit a page somewhere in the clean canvas theme. I have no other ideas. Thanks.

You did unzip the download right? Then went to Admin / Modules and then activated it?

Yes, Yes I did. Not to be found there. Can't find it. Nope. Not sure why though. I uploaded it to the correct folder.

Now it's there. Hopefully I can now add a custom menu and add the URL I need to. I'll let you know.

so, it's not listed in the available modules list?
If so, then you need to check the permissions of the folder, and if still no luck, try again on installing, paying particular attention to where you put the module folder and it's contents.

I got it finally. Just wish I could make the font size larger or bold. But at least it's up there and works now. Thanks.......for the help.

Glad you got it figured out. I'm no good with CSS, so can't help with the typesetting.
