  • Go to Appearance > Menus
    This opens a screen that contains 4 sections in the left column, and a menu in the right column.

FindMenus

  • In the left column:
    • Ignore the “Theme Locations” box. It’s not relevant for this site.
    • The “Custom Links” box is used for links to off-site pages. For example,if we want to link to a page on the main IBM site, enter the URL and the Label you want to use in the menu, and select “Add to Menu”.
    • The “Pages” box is used to link to pages on this site. Use the “Most Recent”, “View All”, and “Search” tabs to find the page or pages you want to include in the menu, and select “Add to Menu”.
    • The “Categories” box is used to link to category pages on this site. Use the “Most Recent”, “View All”, and “Search” tabs to find the category or categories you want to include in the menu, and select “Add to Menu”.
  • In the right column:
    • Use the “+” tab to create a new menu if you need it.
    • Select an existing tab to edit that menu.
    • Main Nav 2 is the current menu used at the top of the page.
    • After selecting the menu you want to work on, use the functions in the left column to add items to this menu.
    • You may rearrange the items in the menu by dragging each menu to where you want it. Indent to indicate a sub-menu item.
  • Be sure to hit “Save Menu” before leaving this screen.

Footnote

The “Footer Nav” is not the menu used in the Footer as of this writing. For technical reasons having to do with the design, we have custom coded the footer menu. If you need to modify the menu in the footer, we’ll have to add another training page.Menus
