php - How to retrieve Appearance > Menus in Wordpress 2.9? -


in wordpress 2.9, how can restore 'menus' appearance section of dashboard? i've been told requires adding code functions.php, since uploading new theme, of code examples find 3.0 - 3.5 versions of wordpress. i'm editing else's existing website. first recommendation update, wish stay older version.

you wouldn't "restoring" it, you'd adding it. iirc custom menu features (appearance -> menus) added in wordpress 3.0 , didn't exist in 2.9. might possible hack in, lot of work since 3.0 significant update wordpress core.

you either need upgrade 3.0 (or 3.5.1... smart option since running ancient version of wordpress 2.9 huge security risk) or write kind of custom plugin mimic custom menus functionality in 3.0. if want try hack feature in using 3.0 code you'll need dig pretty deep core wp code , take more work either of other 2 options.

adding code functions.php describing 3.0+ versions of wp enable custom menus feature single line of code - won't work in 2.9 since functionality doesn't exist in core wp version. client needs pick between upgrading or paying write feature - can't expect cherry-pick random features subsequent major wp releases , "add" them in older version of wp since depend on updated core files work @ all.
