Before creating a menu, you might have seen that the Add menu items box on the left was grayed out. The absence of a menu to add items to is the reason behind this.

This area is accessible now that you have a menu. By default, there are four link groups from which to select:

Pages: connections to your website’s published pages. It displays the most recent page you uploaded. View all published pages in all lists.

Posts: This lets you add links to previously published posts. Like Pages, you can choose Most Recent to view the most recent post that has been published, or View All to get a list of all posts.

Custom link: You are able to add a URL link to a certain page within the menu.

Categories: This feature allows you to add categories to your posts as

Expand a group and check the box next to the page item you want to pick. Multiple page items from the same group can be added by checking the corresponding boxes.

As an alternative, you can pick Select All to pick every item in the group. After selecting your option, click Add to Menu.

The Menu Structure on the right will display the selected items as tabs nested one underneath the other. Every tab bears the item’s name and specifies the kind of link it is—page, post, custom link, or category. Click the Save Menu button to save the changes.

You can choose to have new top-level pages added to the menu on a regular basis. Check the box labeled “Auto add pages” to automatically add new top-level pages to this menu under Menu Settings.
