Create a WordPress menu using the design setting
A WordPress menu is quickly created. Depending on the theme, change the menu according to your wishes:
- Log in to the admin area of your WordPress page.
- Click on "Design" and then on "Menus".
- You are now in the menu settings. Many themes offer you predefined menus such as the "Social Links Menu".
- In the top bar you will find the link "create a new menu" in addition to these specified menus. Click on this link with the left mouse button.
- Give the menu a unique name, such as "Main navigation".
- Then you decide which items should be added to your new menu. You can choose from certain articles, entire categories or pages. It is also possible to link back to the start page.
- Make sure that a menu should help the user to find his way around on your homepage. Therefore, do not nest your menu unnecessarily and limit yourself to essential links.
