Menu Help - soltelnetworks - 2011-11-15

I downloaded the Get Simple CMS for the first time and installed it. I cannot get my menu to work properly. Any suggestions or advise?

Welcome to the forums.

You just need to add some CSS styling to your menu.

this should start you off.

Line 423 of your style.css change to the follwoing.

Code:
li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-top: 20px;
}

Thanks, that worked! My only other question now is this... Is there a file that I can access where I can edit actual links to the menu? Example, what if I add a menu item that needed to go to a 3rd party site or if I want the homepage to default ".index.php" and not .index.html?

Welcome here!

just start to read the postings here in the forum. You will find a lot of answers to your questions and please notice: sometimes answers to questions can be found in the wiki as well ;=)

One search phrase for your question could be: "Link to external sites in menue"

Cheers, Connie

One way is to use the excellent i18N and i18N Custom Fields plugins:
