• Enter a name for your new menu in the Menu Name box
• Click the Create Menu button.

Adding Items to a Menu

On the left-hand side, click Pages to see your available content. Simply tick the boxes next to the pages you want to include and click the Add to Menu button. If a page is missing from the "Most Recent" list, just click the View All tab to see everything you’ve created.

Once added, your pages will pop up in the right-hand column under Menu Structure, where you can begin organizing them.

Add blog post category archive pages to your custom menu

Open the Categories section in the left column and click the View All tab to see your full list. Tick the boxes for the categories you want to feature, then click Add to Menu to move them into your structure.

Order of the Menu

Drag each items into the order you prefer and drop it.

Multilevel Menu

To make one menu item a subordinate of another, you need to position the 'child' underneath its 'parent' and then drag it slightly to the right.

1. Position the mouse over the 'child' menu item.
2. Whilst holding the left mouse button, drag it to the right.
3. Release the mouse button.
4. Repeat these steps for each sub-menu item.
5. Click the Save Menu button in the Menu Editor to save your changes.
