Edit menus

Your website consists of two menus: in the header (primary) and in the footer (secondary). By default, all pages you add will show up in both menus, but you can customise them. For example, the primary menu may contain only the most important pages while the secondary menu may contain all of them. This is especially useful when you have multiple pages and not all of them fit in the header's space.

You can see the pages appear in the Menu structure section on the right. If needed, you can change their order. Click the Save menu button to save changes.

   

6. If you want to add the next menu, click create a new menu link. Give your new menu a name in Menu name and configure the basic settings.

Add custom pages

Template pages like About us, About us (extended), FAQ, Contact, but also the default page (see here) are pages that are created in Wordpress and are placed within your website. When opening them, you are not leaving your website at all.

However, you may want to link from your menu to some external websites, for example your company website, Google Maps review page or a video overview uploaded to a video sharing platform like YouTube. Heres how you can do it.

1. Go to Wordpress Admin and open the management menu.

2. Select Appearance > Menus.

   

3. Select the menu where you would like to add a custom page to. Unfold the dropdown and choose the menu you would like to add external link to. Click Select.

   

   Tip: If you have not created the custom menu yet, see Edit menus first. After you create your custom menu, come back here.

4. Unfold the Custom links menu on the right. Provide the URL to the website you would like to link to. Click Add to menu.

   

   Tip: If needed, change the order of the pages in your custom menu by dragging and dropping them.
