The built-in WordPress Menu&nbsp;feature allows you to create your own custom menus in place of your theme\u2019s default menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Custom Menus<\/strong><\/em><\/span> are a list of common links that are usually displayed as the main navigation for your site. The menu location can vary depending on your theme, and some themes offer additional menus such as social links menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no limit on how many menus you can create, so if your theme includes more than one menu location, you can choose which <strong>custom menu<\/strong> to associate with each location. You can also use custom menus in conjunction with the<em> Custom Menus<\/em> widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-custom-menu-in-wordpress\"><strong>How to Create a Custom Menu in WordPress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1. To create a custom menu, log in to your WordPress site and click to expand the <strong>Appearance<\/strong> menu on the left side of the WordPress Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Click on the&nbsp;<strong>Menus<\/strong>&nbsp;link in the&nbsp;<strong>Appearance <\/strong>menu. You\u2019ll now&nbsp;see the Menus editor page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Enter your menu name, and click <strong>Create menu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Now you&#8217;re ready to <strong>add menu items<\/strong>&nbsp;from the boxes on the left, such as pages, categories and links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. If you&#8217;d like to change which menu options you see from this page, click to expand the<strong>&nbsp;Screen Options<\/strong> tab. Now you can add other menu items options such as posts, tags or formats, or show advanced menu properties like CSS classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. When you have your menu items arranged in order, click <strong>Save Menu<\/strong>. You now have a new navigation menu that can be added to any menu location on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-words\"><strong>Final Words<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you understand well this tutorial.
