Yes, menu displays and I rolled back the code to original state where categories are listing by name.

The below link is reflects the code that I am currently using:

I really get confuse, I thought you want to use wp menu management, but why you rolled back to wp_list_categories ordered by name?

Regarding your statement below I take from your question description above..
<blockquote>This would be fine, but the nav order needs to follow the structure as built in Admin Menus. </blockquote>

If you choose to rolled back to wp_list_categories that means possibility to order the nav in wordpress admin menu will be gone.

If you want the menu follow the structure like in Appearance -> Menu you should use wp_nav_menu function. If the menu create WITH wp_nav_menu can display in your site then we can add another function like jQuery superfish.

so the question is..
Did you want to use wp_nav_menu or wp_list_categories?

Result on both wp_list_categories and wp_nav_menu can work with jQuery superfish. The only difference is how it manage. In link [[LINK href="http://wpquestions.com/question/show/id/233"]]you're point at[[/LINK]] we can also add jQuery superfish function on it.

Thanks

Christianto - you are correct...I wish to use WP menu management. I rolled back because I wanted to start from the beginning.

<blockquote>so the question is..

<strong>
Answer: wp_nav_menu</strong>

I realize that my instructions may have been unclear so please ask any further questions to clarify.

Thanks for your attention towards this and I look forward to your solution.

Hi,

Patrick, place the code of functions.php that I send to you, <strong>the last one that use add_action</strong> and add another code below to functions.php

function superfish_script(){
echo '
<!-- start superfish scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/js/superfish.js\" ></script>
<!-- end superfish scripts -->';
}
add_action('wp_head','superfish_script');


And change the code on front end using the code below. Like in [[LINK href="http://wpquestions.com/question/show/id/2346"]]this page[[/LINK]] but I change the option/class for superfish initialize selector.

<?php if ( $activate = get_option('newstheme_activate') ) { ?>

<?php if ( get_option( newstheme_menucat ) == "Hide") { ?>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;"></div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="menubar"><!-- BEGIN MAIN NAV -->

<ul id="nav sf-menu sf-navbar">
<li <?php if(is_home()) {echo 'class="current_menu_item"';}?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php

$patrick_args = array(
'theme_location' => 'patrick_main_menu',
'container' => false,
'depth' => 2
);
wp_nav_menu($patrick_args);
?>
</ul>


And please enable/show the category menu on admin panel, if the menu didn't appear clear the wp total cache.

After that please download file attach contain superfish.css and superfish.js.

Copy entire superfish.css to style.css, then place superfish.js to js folder on your theme directory if the folder not exists create one.

Let me know the result..
