Menus and posts in wp
After some research I was able to accomplish this and created a short tutorial for anyone else who might be interested. The link is:

I currently have my website with a static home page.
I notice that a lot of my blogs can go under their own separate heading (which I want in my secondary menu).
I know how to set up menus and categories. I will try to explain this as I am not finding any info that directly addresses this.
For example: a Travel website has blogs about different areas, and Mexico is one of them. Upon looking at the blogs, you realize you have a lot on Mexico and you want to give it its own Menu heading (not a subheading under another item). So far so good. You create a menu item named Mexico and move those posts to that item.
Problem: You now have those same posts in BOTH the main Blog Menu AND also in your new menu item MEXICO.
Question: Can the posts be removed from the Main Blog item OR are they destined to remain in both locations?
This inforamtion might be on here and I just don't know the right question to type in.
Thanks,
Mary Ann

Hi Mary Ann,
Have you tried using separate custom menu widgets? Like removing the main default menu and then adding two new menus, then manually adding each new post to its appropriate menu in Word Press once your done with the post?
I'm not sure how it will look in your theme - but you should be able to have multiple menus - one for Mexico, and one for another country, like Canada, and style it according to your theme's css.
Also - I notice there's an option under the Menu widget called "Add to Menu", but I don't see any option for "Remove from Menu" to remove a post - that's why I brought up using NEW menu widgets rather than the default menu that came with your theme.
I hope this helps.
Hi Isaiah. thanks for responding. I also noticed you can add but not remove posts from the menu.
I just switched over to GeneratePress which is being touted as the be all and end all of themes these days :) so I am sure if there is a way, this theme would support that! Any GP experts out there?
I think I understand what you mean and as far as doing it manually (which is not that much of an issue) overall I am talking about 30 posts which, like I said, is not that big a deal.
