I have a clean install of 4.7b3. At the top of my page is a link to edit primary links. When I click on the link it takes me to the Administer Menus page. I cannot see anything on the page listed as Primary Links. Could someone point me in the right direction fo finding this?

I have the following modules enabled:
Bad Behavior
Blog
Category
Category_display
Category_menu
Comment
Forum
Help
Menu
Node
Page
PhP Info
Profile
Search
Story
Taxonomy
Tracker
Upload

Thank you for your assistance!

Turn on menu module
Go to admin >> settings >> menu
You need to assign a menu to the primary links there.
You may need to create a menu to do this.

sp,

Menu Module is on. I see no primary links listed. Do I create a menu called Primary Links?

AH HA!

I got it. Maybe calling one of the menu links something different would help to clear up some confusion.

Thanks for taking the extra time to make the screen shot so that it got through my thick head. :)

admin >> settings is for one time or rarely configured type things. More regularly accessed items go under admin >>.

These are fairly big changes in behaviour. Subtle, but should have a phenomenal effect on ease of use. You can just create a reguler menu, turn on the block, move it into the header and style accordingly. This however keeps the primary and secondary links traditionally available in many themes.

It also goes towards a lower level of entry for new folks settings up sites. Advanced stuff is fun for those who know how, but those learning, it helps having these lead in areas to play with.

As to the screen shot, sometimes visuals help. In any case, have fun.
