Updating Your Navigation Menus
Your navigation menu is how visitors find their way around, so keeping it clear and current is well worth a few minutes now and then. Adding a new page to a menu is usually a simple drag-and-drop task.
This guide shows how menus are structured, how to add or reorder items, and how to avoid the common pitfall of an overcrowded menu.
How Menus Are Built
A menu is a list of links you arrange yourself. Items can sit at the top level or nest underneath a parent as a dropdown.
- Top-level items are always visible in the bar.
- Sub-items appear in a dropdown under their parent.
- Links can point to pages, posts, categories or external sites.
- The order in the menu editor is the order visitors see.
Adding a New Item
Whenever you create a page you want people to find easily, add it to the relevant menu.
- Open the Menus area in your admin settings.
- Select the page or enter the link you want to add.
- Drag it into position, nesting it if needed.
- Save the menu and check it on the live site.
