2. Go to Appearance > Menus.

Step 2: Create a New Menu

1. In the Menu Structure section, click Create a New Menu.
2. Give your menu a name (e.g., “Main Menu” or “Footer Menu”).
3. Click Create Menu.

Step 3: Add Pages, Posts, Categories, or Custom Links

1. On the left, you’ll see options to add Pages, Posts, Custom Links, and Categories to your menu.

This helps organize your menu and create clean dropdowns.

2. Make sure it’s displaying correctly in the chosen location, and test any dropdowns.

That’s it! Your new menu is now live and organized for easy navigation.
