    It's been said before but everyone here is most friendly and less scary than wp forum, how do I add non wordpress pages to the wordpress (loop?) navigation on sidebar. Any help or links are and is always much appriciated.
    Thanks, Sloan

    Depending on your theme, the process most likely involves editing your sidebar.php file. I can't offer specific help because I don't know which theme you are using but if you're not confident in poking around in the Wordpress code, I suggest you ask someone for help. If you need help, just contact me or reply in this thread smile

    For gods sake, don't let that get around!... ;-)

    if I understand your question correctly, it is in
    wp-content/themes/wp-andreas01-12/sidebar.php

    this would add a link to a non WP page.


    <ul class="linklist">
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>

    <li><a href="Add Your Link Here">new Link</li>

    </ul>


    Hope that helps...?

    Thanks MattKern I gave that a try but no luck. I could have asked the question wrong as I wanted the non wp-page to show up in the navigation as a page. But I do understand a little bit more on what I'm looking for from your help and example.

    I believe that sidebar.php is the right sidebar in that theme.
    Header.php:
    <h2 class="hide">Main menu:</h2>
    <ul class="page">
    <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = "page_item"; } else {$highlight = "page_item current_page_item"; } ?>
    <li class="<?php echo $highlight; ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
    <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>
    <li><a href="#">ADD YOUR LINKS HERE</a></li>
    </ul>

    That was it gnome, no wonder I never thought to look in the header php. Thanks so much gnome and everyone as this is such a wonderfully helpful site. tooth

    It is good that you found a solution, instead of a hack.
