I'm having issues with only certain themes. I'm using the Pro version.

When I add a new page, that page is always added under the Home as a submenu. The intention was to have it on the navigation bar. For instance:

I have ( Home | Products | Cart ) and want to have ( Home | Products | Cart | Contact )

I'm not shy to dive into code. I've looked under the hood of the XML files involved in the themes and find them a MESS. 1/2 of the themes it works fine, but it seems the ones I want to use doesn't. No options exist in Designer Pro that would suggest some type of solution. Any suggestions?

I don't think you can change this behavior from within the program. It's one of those things you have to live with when working with a canned system, the trade off for simplicity.

I have found that this problem exists in themes that have the menu items horizontally across the top. But if you choose a theme that has the menu items vertically up and down the left or right side, you should not have this problem.
