WordPress Tutorial Adding Menu Items

WP-Tutoring.Com - WordPress Tutoring and Training

Many times on your WordPress site, you're going to want to change things on your menu. This main menu here just has two of my pages, but I actually have a video page on here that I want to add to this menu.

There are two ways that I can get to the menu from this login area. I can come here and go to menus. If I'm already on the backend of my site, I can just go straight to appearance in menus here on the left side. Now that I see that I've got my menu structure here, and I've already got two pages to find. I see that I've got video here. If I couldn't see video here, I can actually click view all and see all of my pages, or I can do a search just in case that my list is really long.

Now I've got pages, post, custom links, and categories I can add to my site. Depending on the theme I have, I might actually have some other post types here. You can add them all pretty much the same way. I'm to go back here, because I see video underneath my most recent. I'm going to click it and click add to menu.

Now if I didn't like it in this ending position, which is really the default position that WordPress places all pages or posts that you put here, I can actually drag and drop it a new place, or there are links that will allow me to go up one, move it underneath the page above it, or make it go to the top.

I like where it's at now, so I'm going to go ahead and click save menu. If I go back to the front end of my site, now I've got video in my menu.
