Add Categories To Menu
5 replies · Started by Adam on June 1, 2022
Hello,
I am trying to add additional navigation options to my website, and having some trouble...
Right now my site uses (4) Categories for various blog posts. Is there a way to easily add a drop down menu of those 4 categories under my main "Article" Header Menu, without messing anything up?
So a visitor clicks on "Articles" Then they see a drop down of my (4) categories and can click on any of them to be taken to all the articles in that category?
Hi Adam,
You can use a custom html menu item for article, enter # as its link.
Then you can add category menu items as its children.
Hi Ying...thank you. But where do I find the custom html menu? Is this under Appearance > Customize? Or do you have a link/resource you can send with more details?
Menu is actually handled by wordpress, so go to appearance > menus, you can build your menu there.
Thank you, Ying- so just to be clear, this isn't a Generate Press issue? This is a WordPress feature and I should ask them for additional help?
Hi Adam,
Yes, this is a WordPress functionality, but we can gladly guide you how to do it.
Here are a few steps after you go to Appearance > Menus:
1. Create a Menu
2. Add a Custom Link: https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5uOYZ0W
3. Add categories: https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuwZygq
4. Drag categories under your Custom Link: https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAu1Wdv9
5. Save the menu
Through this, you can use a WordPress Navigation Block to display the menu in your website: https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5uOYZvW
You can repeat these steps if you wish to add more menus.
Hope this helps!
