WordPress Menu<\/h2>\n
WordPress comes with a well-structured and efficient menu-building system. By using it, you can create not only a navigation menu (the one on the top of the page), but also sidebar menus, and footer menus.<\/p>\n
There are WordPress themes that will provide you with more than one menu type. And some even do have in-theme menu building logic. But for most of the themes out there, the default WordPress menu building page will be more than enough.<\/p>\n
At one time or another, you\u2019ve probably landed on a website that has more than on the navigational menu. Usually, they are two. One that is bigger and more important than the second. And, of course, the second which is more often than not, on the top, with a smaller font and overall size. \u00a0If the theme that you are using has the potential of using two menus, they\u2019ll usually have names that are way too apparent for you to mistake one of the menus for the other.<\/p>\n
Usually, these names are Primary<\/strong> and Secondary<\/strong>, but they can also be named otherwise.<\/p>\n And if you want to use a menu different<\/strong> from the Primary<\/strong> and Secondary<\/strong> in the sidebar of your website, you need to create that menu. After that without<\/strong> assigning a role to it (Primary or Secondary), you\u2019ll need to use the sidebar widget\u2026<\/p>\n But we are getting ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Creating a menu in WordPress is fairly easy. You need to enter your WordPress Admin Panel. Chances are that by now, you are familiar with the admin panel.<\/p>\n You need to look for the Appearance<\/strong> option in the sidebar menu.\u00a0 And then go for the Menus <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t seen it already, here is how it looks:<\/p>\n After you click on the Menus<\/strong> button, you\u2019ll land on the menu creation page. It looks like this:<\/p>\n As you can see, you are not presented with many options. To change this, you need to create a menu.<\/p>\n Doing this is a simple task.<\/p>\n You need to name your menu, and just click one of the Create Menu <\/strong>buttons, located in the right part of the page.<\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve created your first menu, you need to choose the pages that you want to be presented in it. There are two things that you need to bear in mind when creating a menu.<\/p>\n First, the pages, posts, or categories that you want to add to the menu should be already published.<\/p>\n Second, the elements that you are adding to the menu from top to bottom, will be presented from left to right on the front end of your website.<\/p>\n Now that we took this out of the way, we may proceed to discover the functions of the WordPress menu.<\/p>\n To add elements to the menu you need to first choose them, by clicking on the empty squares on the left of the elements.<\/p>\nHow to Create a WordPress Menu<\/h2>\n
