It is no secret that site navigation menus are not easy to customize before the WordPress 3.X. Customizing menu is made easier now, because it is way beyond the basic alphanumeric order of WordPress. In fact, most of the themes offer a feature where you can add two or more menus.

If you want to do some changes in your menu, you can do so with just a few clicks. You can manipulate your menus, simply by clicking to: Appearance > Menus.

1. How To Create a New Menu

   First, click the + (plus sign) tab then name your menu. From there, you have the option to select the box that indicates, “Automatically add new top-level pages”. Selecting this will add any new page that will create to the menu. If you choose this option, always remember to check menu order and arrange it as you desire.

2. How To Add a Menu Item

   After you have created a new category or a new page, choose the menu tab for the specific menu that you would want to add. Afterwards, check the item in left sidebar then select Add to Menu. Then you may drag-n-drop a new menu item to your preferred location.

3. How To Reorder Menu

   Just click on the tab for the menu that needs modification, then drag-n-drop the menu items in your desired order.

4. How To Add a Custom Link

   To add URL title and label, utilise the custom link box that is found on the left side.

5. How To Create a Submenu

   If you want an item to be subbed under a main title, just move the item then jog it a bit to the right so as to make it appear indented. This process will make a category or a page be a submenu for another title. Afterwards select the button Add to Menu then position the new link in your menu. This feature is quite good especially for off-site links such as social media, Estores or other websites.

   To sum it up, WordPress is evolving and with each upgrade new things are made easier for all of us. Not very long ago, WordPress shows all its pages. But nowadays, if you have a private page, or member’s only page, password secured page that you don’t want every visitor to see – with a few clicks or just simply do not add it into your menus it is concealed just like you want it.
