SplitMenu, Suckerfish, SuperSucker Information
The exclusive RocketTheme menu systems in this template use the mainmenu by default and this menu is configured in the administrator. For these to function correctly, understand that the ‘top level’ menu items will show up as the horizontal buttons across the top of the template. For sub menu items, assign Parent Item to these top menus to the top-level item. These will then show up below in a submenu when you click on a top-level item.
