Mastering WordPress navigation menus with MaxiBlocks: A step-by-step guide


What is a WordPress navigation menu?

A WordPress navigation menu is a simple and user-friendly tool that helps you organise the different pages and sections of your website. Think of it as the roadmap for your site, making it easy for visitors to find what they’re looking for without getting lost.

Why use a navigation menu?

A navigation menu is essential because it:

  • Improves user experience: Visitors can quickly find the information they need.
  • Enhances site structure: It helps organise your content logically.
  • Boosts SEO: Search engines can better understand and index your site.

How to create a navigation menu in WordPress

  1. Access the menu settings: Go to your WordPress dashboard, hover over “Appearance,” and click on “Menus.”
  2. Create a new menu: Click on “Create a new menu,” give it a name, and click “Create Menu.”
  3. Add items to your menu: On the left side, you’ll see options to add pages, posts, custom links, and categories. Tick the boxes of the items you want to include and click “Add to Menu.”
  4. Arrange your menu items: Drag and drop the items to arrange them in the order you prefer. You can also create sub-menus by dragging items slightly to the right under a parent item.
  5. Save your menu: Once you’re happy with the arrangement, click “Save Menu.”
