Can't create submenu
13 replies · Started by Richard on April 30, 2016
Hi Tom,
I want to add submenus to some of my main navigation page menus (Home, Services, About, Successes) on the nav bar. Those pages are already created.
I can't create the first submenu. Here are the steps I took:
1. Created a new menu, "I'm Different." I want to make it a submenu of the About page.
2. I did not select any Pages, such as About, before I saved "I'm Different" because it creates another About menu in the Menu Structure.
3. "I'm Different" menu is not showing in the Menu Structure.
What should I do to get the menu "I'm Different" in the Menu Structure. (I know how to drag it to make it a submenu.)
Thanks.
Dick

Let me know :)
Hi Tom,
I read that before I wrote. Did not help.

Can you show me a screenshot of your "Appearance > Menus" page?
Hi Tom,
Just solved the problem.
After I added the new page, it appeared in the Menu Structure, and I dragged it to submenu position.
I was trying to create the menu item before I created its page first.
Thanks.

Glad you got it sorted :)
I can not create submenus. I have the main menu and then I put the submenus under it. But the submenus appear on the top bar where the main menus are. Also the items in the main menu are not in the same order that I placed them on setting up the menus. One item is at the front and I placed it next to last.
Thanks

Hi Reace,
Can you show us a screenshot of your “Appearance > Menus” page and provide a link to your site?
Thanks!

My site is http://www.wordsintodollarsbyreace.com/
I can not make a screen print of my appearance screen. I have Windows 10 and hit the windows key and print screen key (It is the end key on my laptop) but there is no screen shot file in my pictures section.

You don't have a theme location set: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-wordpress-menu-builder/#setting-a-theme-location
This means the changes you to make to your menu in that area won't apply.
Tom:
I go to Appearance and them menu. I check 'Automatically add new top level pages to this menu. and then I check 'Primary menu'. I saved the menu. However nothing happens.
Thank you

Looks like your menu is working to me?

I can see the sub menu as well.
Leo:
Thank you very much.
I had to close down my site and then go back in. Everything is working.
I learned something new today.
Once again thanks
Reace
Glad it's fixed!
