Why Use Menus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

A menu functions as a site map, so it must be simple for visitors to understand, navigate, and, most importantly, find the items they’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a well-designed menu<\/strong><\/a> enhances the user experience and leads to conversions, as you may have already figured out. If users can find their desired location, they will likely stay on a website and view more material.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create a New Menu in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Navigate to the WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Menus<\/em><\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"appearance\n\n\n\n

You can see a page where you can enter the Menu Name<\/strong> and customize some Menu Settings<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can Automatically add new top-level pages to the menu<\/strong> and decide the menu location: whether it should be your header or footer. Different themes support different locations, so the settings may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, click the \u201cCreate Menu\u201d<\/strong> button in the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\"create\n\n\n\n

Edit Menus in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Now, if you want to edit a menu, you can select it in the dropdown box at the top. Click the \u201cSelect\u201d <\/strong>button, and then you can change the menu name and settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"select\n\n\n\n

How to Delete a Menu in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Select the needed menu in the drop-down on the top, press the \u201cSelect\u201d <\/strong>button, and click the \u201cDelete Menu\u201d <\/strong>link.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\"delete\n\n\n\n

\n

If you proceed to the Manage Locations<\/strong> tab, you can quickly assign menus to different locations. If you hit the \u201cEdit\u201d <\/strong>button, you will proceed to the editing page to edit the menu assigned to the specific location, and if you press the \u201cUse new menu\u201d <\/strong>button, you can create a new menu.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\"manage\n\n\n\n
