WP07 - Creating Secondary Menu - Mr Hagues Class

Creating a secondary menu in WordPress is a straightforward way to enhance navigation on your site. This menu can be used to provide additional links or resources, such as contact information, user accounts, or special offers, that complement the primary menu. To create a secondary menu, start by logging into your WordPress dashboard and navigating to the "Appearance" section, then click on "Menus." Here, you can create a new menu by giving it a name and adding the desired items to it.

Once the menu is created, you'll need to assign it to a location. In most themes, you can do this under the "Manage Locations" tab within the "Menus" section. Themes may have different location options, such as "Header Menu," "Footer Menu," or "Secondary Menu." Select the appropriate location for your new secondary menu and save your changes. If your theme doesn’t provide a designated area for secondary menus, you may need to add custom code or use a plugin to display it in your desired location.

Customizing the appearance and behavior of your secondary menu can be done through the "Appearance" - "Customize" section or by using custom CSS. You can adjust its styling to match the look and feel of your site, ensuring it aligns with your overall design. Additionally, if you want more advanced features or layouts, consider using a page builder plugin that offers greater flexibility in positioning and styling your secondary menu.
