Categories and Recent Posts > in Header.php

[adew]

Guy,

My answer is really the same - there's no easy way to populate the dropdown list of posts from the nav bar. (Yes, I understand that you want to keep the categories too.)

Assuming you want to do this dynamically, ie so that it automatically updates when you add a new post, you would have to write a custom WP_Query to select the posts (eg a specific category), call this query in header.php, and then add suitable markup to the existing navigation so that the output of the query can populate the unordered list needed for the dropdown to work. Yes, it's quite a customisation.

Alternatively, you would need to hardcode this part of the menu, eg like this:

PHP Code:

<li><a href="URL to post">Post title</a></li>
<li><a href="URL to post">Post title</a></li> 
<li><a href="URL to post">Post title</a></li> 
<li><a href="URL to post">Post title</a></li> 


etc
