Dashboard, select the 'Menus' option to bring up the
Menu Editor.

5. Click the Create Menu button.
Deleting a Menu Item
1. Locate the menu item that you want to remove in the menu editor window

Customizing Menu Items
Navigation Label
• This field specifies the title of the item on your custom menu. This is what your visitors will see when they visit your site/blog.

Original
• A link to the original source of the menu item (e.g. a link to view the post or page).
• Following items are hidden by default. Use Screen Options to show the required fields.

Title Attribute
• This field specifies the Alternative ('Alt') text for the menu item. This text will be displayed when a user's mouse hovers over a menu
item.

Link Target

CSS Classes
• Optional CSS Classes for this menu item

Link Relationship (XFN)


• Allows for the generation of XFN attributes automatically so you can show how you are related to the authors/owners of site to which
you are linking. See Link Relationship for details.
Description
Description for this link. The description will be displayed in the menu if the current theme
supports it.

1. Click on the arrow in the top right-hand corner of the menu item to expand it.
2. Enter the values for the required fields that you want to assign to the item.
3. Click the Save Menu button to save your changes.
Creating Multi-level Menus
• When planning the structure of your menu, it helps to think of each menu item as a heading
in a formal report document. In a formal report, main section headings (Level 1 headings) are
the nearest to the left of the page; sub-section headings (Level 2 headings) are indented
slightly further to the right; any other subordinate headings (Level 3, 4, etc) within the same
section are indented even further to the right.

• The WordPress menu editor allows you to create multi-level menus using a simple 'drag and
drop' interface. Drag menu items up or down to change their order of appearance in the
menu. Drag menu items left or right in order to create sub-levels within your 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.
Adding Your Menu to Your Site
• If your current theme supports custom menus, you will be able to add your new menu to one
of the Theme Locations.

1. Scroll to the bottom of the menu editor window.


2. In the section titled Theme locations, click the check box for the location where you want
your menu to appear.
3. Click Save menu once you've made your selection.
