Unable to add menu items to menu set

I finally made the jump to Backlight and I like it. Great job!

For me, still some work in progress. On my website http://jeanpaulwagemakers.nl I already have one wordpress install on http://www.jeanpaulwagemakers.nl/wadm/k … n-de-muur/ . For my blog I made a second one manually on http://www.jeanpaulwagemakers.nl/blog/ .

I would like to ad this last one to my menu, but now I'm not able to add any item to my menu set in Backlight anymore. I can't find any solutions for this problem. Do you have any advice?

Re: Unable to add menu items to menu set

Did you try logging into backlight admin for the site then go here: Designer> Menu Sets> Design (for the menu set you are using, say..default) scroll to page bottom, click Add. This will put your new menu item at the bottom of the list. You can drag it up or down ad lib. Set the menu item as either URL or page or whatever as in the drop down list for the item you are adding. Don't forget to save it.

Re: Unable to add menu items to menu set

Thanks for your reply Mark. This is exactly the way I did it before and how it should work. Clicking "Add" doesn't add a new menu item. Neither adding a sub menu item to an existing "parent" item is working. Strange...

Weird. I'll be interested to see what the folks who know more about this than I do have to say. Considering that they are spread across the entire planet some of them are probably still asleep.

Re: Unable to add menu items to menu set

you can try clearing template cache and see if that helps

Re: Unable to add menu items to menu set

I did clear the template cache (another time) but still no success. Removing an item is no problem and reordering works like it supposed to do. Only adding an item is nog working.

Removing files and directories like with an update is not giving a solution either.

Ben or Matt will likely need admin access to your Backlight. If you want, feel free to email admin log-in credentials using the email link under my name to the left and I'll take a quick look too.
