How to Change Suckerfish Position in Wordpress
The term “suckerfish” refers to dropdown menus. Both are the same thing, being menus that contain submenus that drop down when the user hovers a mouse pointer over certain items. Many WordPress themes come equipped with suckerfish-style menus, which are built by applying CSS and sometimes a script against code generated by WordPress. The template tag – a built-in PHP function – that generates a menu in WordPress is “wp_nav_menu().” By moving this tag, you can move your suckerfish menu to a new position on your blog.
