[FONT=&quot]I have a Wordpress site. I know how to add normal pages that will then appear in the normal menu bar[/FONT][FONT=&quot] under the header but I am struggling to create extra pages that appear in the footer only, pages such as T&C,s every time I try to add these extra pages they also appear in the top menu bar. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Help![/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

A couple of options come to mind; hard code in footer.php, use custom menus, or use a footer sidebar.

if it's a regular wordpress template then hard coding the footer is the easiest option. If it's a premium framework one it be more involved.

Do you have a file under settings>appearance called footer.php?

If you do just copy the code and post it up here.

If you're using wordpress 3.x you can get around this problem by using the wordpress dynamic menu. You can create multiple menus in the admin area and if the theme is menu-enabled, it's a piece of cake.

Or you could add the footer page links manually via a footer widget. You could try this with the twentyten theme (default theme for wordpress 3.x)

Good luck.

  1. You need a "hide pages" plugin to enable the facility to exclude certain pages from your main navigation
  2. You need to either hardcode your T&C links into the footer by editing the footer.php file. Or create a custom menu in your theme in the footer area but there is a good chance your theme doesn't support that.

if you have a file named functions.php in your theme folder; open it with a text editor and paste these lines :
Code:
register_nav_menu( 'footer-menu', __( 'Footer menu' ) );
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'footer-menu' ) );

otherwise create the file functions.php, then copy/paste and save the file.
you now have an extra menu under Appearance -> menus
