Custom Menu Feature Filter
June 9, 2010
Based on your feedback, you are loving the Custom Menu feature we launched two weeks ago. It’s natural to want that feature enabled for your favorite theme, too. We’re working on adding it to all WordPress.com themes.
In the meantime, you can find themes with Custom Menu support in Appearance→Themes by choosing Custom Menu from the Feature Filters menu.
Custom Menu filter enabled in Appearance→Themes.
We’ll also keep an updated list on the Custom Menu Support page.

This new menu functionality is great. I was able to remove two widgets — Pages and RSS Feed — from my sidebar when I moved up to the Greyzed theme with the embedded Custom Menu. Extremely handy, thank you!

I am unable to find any such layout for options with checkboxes on the theme Greyzed! Am I amiss here?

@vish3116 This isn’t related to a specific theme. You’ll find the filter options by going to Appearance→Themes, then at the far right near the search field, click on Feature Filters to reveal the menu.

It’s hard to find the right theme when there are so many options that I like – seems there is no one theme that has it all. I’d like a three column theme with the custom menu feature. Wish me luck. Thanks!

My theme Bueno only supports one menu, I wish it supported more. I like the theme, but should I change it to another theme that support more than one menu? That’s not really my idea. What themes support more than one menu?
LikeLike
Right now the only theme two have more than one menu is Enterprise. I’m sure that will change in the future as we launch more themes.

GREAT! I was wondering the best way to find the themes that have the support for the new menu feature!

It seems that my lack of enthusiasm for custom menus puts me in a minority of one. I am struck by this commitment: “We’re working on adding it to all WordPress.com themes.” New WP.com features usually go into new themes, leaving the older ones behind. Making an exception for this feature makes a strong statement.
LikeLike
Thanks for your thoughts, Andrew. To be clear, this isn’t an exception—in the past we’ve retrofitted older themes with new theme features (such as threaded comments) and we plan on continuing to improve older themes with features such as Custom Background and image/gallery improvements.

Awesome! I still have to check this thing out…but it sounds really neat. I’m hoping to consolidate two or more of my widgets so I don’t have quite so much in my sidebar–and I don’t want anything in my footer!

This is certainly an improvement. Have to be careful that too many quirky things don’t creep in. The featured image option is really temperamental sometimes.
But, on balance there’s nothing coming close to WordPress. I like integrating it with SoundCloud – very very neat.

I switched to Twenty Ten for the aside feature which is great, but I’d like to have more than one menu – I realise only Enterprise supports this feature at the moment . I’d also like Twenty Ten to support a narrower header image as an option.

I was feeling like a weirdo, being the only one who was not excited about this new feature. Then I figured it must have been because I didn’t get it and went to check the support page for it. And now… wow! That’s absolutely amazing! I knew I was lacking enthusiasm, since everything the WP team does is fantastic! 😉

Do you think you could update older themes (such as Motion) so that they can benefit from the new features that are coming out so fast? I don’t want to give up Motion but I don’t want to be left out when new features arrive.

Yep! We don’t want you to be left out either. We’ll be going through the theme archives and carefully updating older themes with new features like Custom Menus.
