WordPress Menus

WordPress menus control navigation across the site. These can include pages, posts, Custom Post Types, custom links, categories, and more.


🧭 Editing a Menu

  1. Go to Appearance → Menus.
  2. Select the menu you want to edit (e.g., Main Menu, Footer Menu).
  3. Drag items to reorder or nest them (for dropdowns).
  4. Tick the location where the menu should appear (Theme Locations).
  5. Click Save Menu.

âž• Adding Items

On the left-hand panel you can add:

  • Pages
  • Posts
  • Custom Links (e.g., external URLs)
  • Categories / CPT items

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

  • Adding too many menu items leads to clutter and mobile layout issues.
  • Renaming a menu item does not rename the actual page — it only changes the menu label.
  • Some themes have multiple menus; make sure edits are applied to the correct one.

🛠️ Best Practices

  • Keep navigation simple — 5–7 main items max.
  • Use clear, action-based labels (e.g., “Courses” instead of “Learning Resources”).
  • Check the mobile menu after changes; spacing often shifts.
