Your menu is the row of links at the top of your website. When you add a new page, it won’t appear there until you put it in.
You'll learn
How to add, remove and reorder the links in your main menu
Takes
About 5 minutes
You'll need
To be logged in, and to know which page you want to add
1
In the menu on the left, hover over Appearance and click Menus. Check that the menu named at the top is your main one.
2
In the Pages box on the left, tick the page you want and click Add to Menu. It appears at the bottom of the list on the right.
3
Drag the items up and down into the order you want. Top of the list is the left of your menu.
4
Drag an item slightly to the right, underneath another one. It becomes a drop-down link under that item.
5
Click the small arrow on an item to open it. Change the Navigation Label to rename it, or click Remove. Removing a link doesn’t delete the page.
6
Click Save Menu, then visit your website to check it.
Your menu has been built a different way. Tell us what you’d like changing and we’ll do it or show you where.
Keep it to six or seven items. Move the rest into a drop-down or the footer.
You may have missed Save Menu, or edited a different menu such as the footer one.
Tell us which page it’s on and what you’re trying to do. We can talk you through it or make the change for you.
