Changing the Main Navigation Links

The Main Navigation appears in the header of all of your site’s pages. Each link is a drop-down menu for the many sub-pages that are under each heading. The order of these items, and adding new navigation items is an easy and straightforward process.

On the WordPress Dashboard hover over “Appearance” and click on “Menus.”

Be sure that the Main Menu is selected. If it is not selected, or you are not sure, select the Main Menu from the dropdown menu and press “Select.”

Now that you are sure that you are editing the Main Menu check the page you want to add to the main navigation menu and click on “Add to Menu.”

The Page that you just checked and added to the menu will appear at the bottom of the Menu Structure.

The Link to the page that you just added can be dragged and dropped to where you want it to appear among the currently existing Menu items. Menu items that are not indented are Parent links, indented items are child links. Child links appear in the drop-down menu of your site’s front-end.

Now that the page link is placed click on the “Save Menu” button so that the change will be retained and the new link will be visible on the website.

Go back to the live site and you can see that the link we just placed below teaching in the Menu Structure now appears in the drop-down menu in the same order that we specified.
