Pages sometimes don't automatically add to your menu. And you wonder why?

Let's go to our menus. On your "To Do List" look for appearance and click menu. This is what appears on your screen:

Depending on your theme, you will always find a "Theme Locations" which shows the navigation panel. Some have only one menu. Others have a header and a secondary menu. You can choose what page to include in each of the menus. Still on other themes, you can find three or four panels which may include header, secondary, footer, or mobile navigation panels.

So, explore your own theme. Here's a closer look. To add pages to your menus, scroll down the lefthand sidebar and look for "Pages." Click the pages you want to appear on your menu (header, secondary, footer, or mobile) then add to menu. This will then appear on the menu. Don't forget to save or update every time you make some changes.

Feel free to explore your menu. Create menu names. Add or delete pages to your menu.

Happy exploring and onward to the next lesson!

Thanks for the great post. There were a couple new things I learned there. There's so much to learn with internet marketing that we learn something new every day, especially from posts like this. Cheers!

Thanks for the compliment, Ian. This is so encouraging! Yes, we can always learn new things everyday when we keep our minds open to learning. And we keep learning so that we have something to share to others who need help. I'm happy to have you around here.

You're so welcome, Vel. It's my pleasure. I was in your place when I first started. And it's frustrating to be going around places to find relevant answers. I'm glad to be of help. Please share with those who needed help so that they. too, can build the foundation of their websites easily.

You're most welcome, Beccah. Those are the things I needed help with when I first began building my own website. And I didn't find a one-stop tutorial that can walk me through WordPress. That's why I thought of putting 'em together to help others who are just beginning. I'm glad it could be of help to you. Happy building! It should be fun!
