Hi,
I am busy making a translated version of my existing website. I am accounting the following problem:

My first problem was that I was unable to make the top menu appear. I have now solved this problem but the top menu only shows on the front page. Once I click on one of the tabs taking me to an article the top menu disappear.

To view it visit www.semesterhusisydafrika.se , click on beskrivning or Pringle Bay – then you will see that the top menu disappears.

How do I make the top menu visible on all pages? I do not have this problem with my original site www.daydreams.co.za using a slightly older version of Joomla. I have compared all settings and they seem to be the same both on the menu and articles.

Hoping for a swift reply!

Catarina

Hi Catarina,

If you're a student at OSTraining, you can ask support questions at our support forum:
http://www.ostraining.com/forum/

These comment sections at the bottom of tutorials are for, well, commenting on the tutorials. It's very difficult for us to keep track of support issues on here and so the forum is really the ideal place for it and we answer questions very quickly on the forum :-)

Luckily for you though I just happened to see your comment here. To get the top menu to appear on all pages, you need to go to your menu module in module manager and make sure that it is assigned to all menu items (in the bottom left of the page).

Kind regards,
Nick
