I had this problem and with the release of 3.0, they added a much easier solution for creating navigation menus.
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Navigation_Menus
I added this to my functions.php code:
<?php add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary-menu' => __( 'Primary Menu' ),
'secondary-menu' => __( 'Secondary Menu' ),
'tertiary-menu' => __( 'Tertiary Menu' )
)
);
}
and the navigation menus is listed under Appearance in the admin menu.

Great! Thank you so much!
I have created a navigation menu with:
– Home
– News
– Info
I have created the “home” button adding a custom link to http://www.mysite.com. Do you know a better way to create it?
Then i have created the second button adding the “news” category.
Finally the “info” button has been created adding the “info” page.
Now how to create a button to show all posts of all categories except “news” category?
Thanks 😉
Please dfwgreg keep helping me 🙁

That’s how I did it.

I’m not sure you can do that. I guess the work-around would be to create a page and make a custom loop query to exclude the ‘news’ category and a make a link to that category.

Cool! It worked!
Starting from your link i have created pageofposts.php file with this code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: PageOfPosts
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php
if (is_page() ) {
$category = get_post_meta($posts[0]->ID, 'category', true);
}
if ($category) {
$cat = get_cat_ID($category);
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$post_per_page = 4; // -1 shows all posts
$do_not_show_stickies = 1; // 0 to show stickies
$args=array(
'category__in' => array($cat),
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => $post_per_page,
'caller_get_posts' => $do_not_show_stickies
);
$temp = $wp_query; // assign orginal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( have_posts() ) :
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
<?php endif;
$wp_query = $temp; //reset back to original query
} // if ($category)
?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I have replaced this row
'category__in' => array($cat),
with
'category__not_in' => array($cat),
Then i have enabled “screen options” during creating a new page, i have set “PageOfPosts” as template and i have added a custom field “category” with “News” as value (that is the cat i wanted to exclude!).
Finally i have created the fourth button in the navigation menu (admin -> appearance -> menu) linking it to the new page 🙂
Thank you so much for your help!
PS: Did you mean this solution?
