In Word Press version 3.0, there is a new feature that allows you to create a custom navigation and place it in one of the widget areas of your template.
Create a custom menu
- Click on Appearance > Menus
- Type the name of your menu in the box provided, then click the CREATE MENU button
Adding items to your new custom menu
You now have a menu, but it’s empty. There are three different types of items you can add to the menu; Custom Links, Pages and Categories. Each are explained below.
- CUSTOM LINKS - these are links to pages that are not generated by your Word Press install. In the URL box, type the URL (include the http://), type the name of your link in the Label box and click ADD TO MENU asdf
- PAGES – if you have created pages on your Word Press install, you can place a tick next to the pages you want added to the menu and click the ADD TO MENU button. You cannot change the name of the page, it takes the page name from within Word Press.
- CATEGORIES – if you have categories created on your Word Press install, you can place a tick next to the categories you want added to the menu and click the ADD TO MENU button. You cannot change the name of the category, it takes the page name from within Word Press.
Change the order of your menu items
Once you have a couple of links in your menu, you can easily change the order they appear in by simply dragging & dropping them. Menu items that all line up together on the left are the main items. If you want sub-menus (drop down menus etc. depending on the style of your template), simply drag & drop the menu item on top of the main item, but over to the right a little. You’ll then see the menu item indented. See below, MINKPINK, Living Doll, Junk and Wakee Jeans are the top level menu items. Ladakh is a sub-menu of MINKPINK.
