I'm trying to create a horizontal menu in WordPress that can be changed on the fly by non-technical users without editing the theme directly. i.e. The graphics department :). I'm a .net developer and the way I would do this in .net is to create a database with the attributes of the link, and make a user friendly back-end to display the contents with CRUD.
Is there an easier way of doing this in WordPress?
I assume you're building a theme? Base your menu on the new default WordPress › TwentyTen theme's menu; it has easily configurable drop down CSS menus. For IE support, see http://firelords.net/wp-plugins/ie6-support-2010/ie6-support-2010.zip
There are other plugins, too, that provide easy menu generation in the Admin section for themes in general: CSS Dropdown search WordPress Plugins

I'm very new to WordPress (tbh, it's my first time working with it). And I need to make a website as my school project using CMS. Creating pages with templates is alright, but I have a lot of troubles with buttons. I found this website, and I can see it using WordPress. I need such buttons as on this page https://movie-chooser.co.ua/random-movie-2/ (they appear when you hover over the image). Is this a default option for buttons in WordPress? If not, is there a plugin for this or what is the way to add them on my images?
First Install Elementor plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/
and go to page when you add button and open page with elementor
and do drag and drop any element like button, space, text editor etc.
You have several ways to achieve that:
Overwritting Wordpress CSS
Using a plugin
Create your own shortcode
1 - Overwriting Wordpress CSS
If you manage to display all the elements using wordpress template, and your only issue is to display buttons over the images, then it should only be a matter of CSS
2 - Using a plugin
The idea here is to find a plugin that help you to create/display the informations you need (maybe you'll need to add functionnality to basic post though custom fields or using a custom post type).
Once you find the right plugin, again if the plugin dosen't directly offert some settings on the design then you'll have to overwrite the plugin's CSS rules to display the elements as you want.
3 - Create your own shortcode
If you're new to Wordpress I wouldn't recommend this method as it is kind of advanced, unless you're comfortable with PHP/HTML/CSS (optionaly JS).
This is the more flexible solution as you can basically control anything, but it will require you to understand some core concepts of Wordpress like WP Query and how custom queries works.
The idea here is to create a shortcode.
THis shortcode refere to a custom made PHP function, in which you can create a custom request to fetch the informations you need to display from Wordpress database, and display it in an HTML structure that you decide.
THen angain, you'll just have to customize it though CSS.
Note : no need to create a whole plugin if you decide to create a shortcode, you can use the template functions.php file for that.
I have just installed WordPress 4.7 and I added some pages.
Then I can see page list in header.
I didn't create any menus in admin panel and why is it?
Do they add menus in header automatically if there is no menu?
I'd say in depends heavily on the theme you're using. If the theme has a feature such as a default menu generated form the entire list of published pages it might be the case.
In order to know which theme you are using, go into the admin then into the Appearance menu and the themes submenu.
If it is a custom theme you bought, you might have to refer to its documentation or go inside the code to check for yourself. If it is a default theme like twenty-sixteen you should be able to modify the behavior from the theme configuration in the admin.

woocommmerce 2.2
theme version 1.2.3( latest)
Themes are generally pretty barebones until you customize the hell out of them. I haven't worked with this theme specifically but for starters you'll want to edit the Menu (which is just standard Wordpress functionality, nothing to do with your theme) to create the items you want in your navigation bar.
Many themes add new menus to the left sidebar; look there for additional customization options. WooCommerce adds its own set of menus that is independent of your theme.
Lastly, click on Appearance > Themes and hit the Customize button next to your theme for potentially even more appearance options (not all themes put options here).
Beyond that you might want to get a handle on working with basic Wordpress before trying to apply themes.
Can anyone tell me how I can use the Szmyd's Advanced Menu module with Orchard CMS without any of the superfish styles etc?
Thanks again in advance.
The module at installation time replaces the default menu with StyledMenuWidget. This widget uses Superfish. You are free to change that - go to Widgets admin, remove the existing menu widget from Navigation Zone and add new MenuWidget there instead.
I have installed the MediaFlux theme from Mojo-Themes on my website at www.sjsueconomics.org. Here are my questions:
As you can see on the website, the blue menu at the very top of the page currently displays Page Titles. I want to display External Links there instead. How do I modify the code to do it?
The main menu (red text below the logo) currently displays Categories. Without changing the style or appearance, I want to display the Page Titles instead. How do I do it?
Thanks in advance!
The company you paid for the theme provides support, not a community which has no access to this product.
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com ; customizing a paid theme while providing no code (and having no right to provide any code) is not an appropriate subject for a StackOverflow question
if the theme supports custom menus, there ought to be a Menus page in the admin, under Appearances probably, or perhaps Settings. Go there, then create a menu with the pages or categories you want, then tell the theme to use the menu you created instead of the default. If the theme doesn't have such a feature, you'll need a programmer.
