    Hello,

    I've added another navigation bar below the primary nav and would like to be able to add the date to the right side like the extras on the primary. How can I do this?

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    Never did that before but hopefully I can point you to the right direction:

    1. Here's a tutorial on adding "extras" to your primary menu. If you're using your own custom menu, you probably want to tweak it a lil' bit.

    2. Here's another tutorial on adding the date to your theme.

    Thanks for the tutorials. Using the second option I figured I could just add the php for the date to my new nav php code which is thirdnav.php:

    <?php
    if ( has_nav_menu( 'thirdnav' ) ) {
    echo '<div id="subnav"><div>';
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_id' => 'thirdnav' , 'menu_class' => 'menu thirdnav superfish sf-js-enabled', 'theme_location' => 'thirdnav') );
    echo '</div></div>';
    } ?>

    But I'm not sure where to add it and the proper syntax. Suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Stephen
