First you need to create a menu then assign it to a menu location. Every menu item in a menu has its own options for: selecting Icon & Badge, Color & Style and Responsive Options. Let’s get started with creating a new menu.
How Can I Create a Menu?
For creating a new menu go to Appearance → Menus, here you see something like below image.
- Click on create a new menu button.
- Write a name in Menu Name field. Click on Create Menu button. This name won’t show up anywhere for your visitors and just displaying in your Menus option panel (for now).

Now menu is created and you should add menu items to it. Look at
below image, you see tabs on left side. Select your menu items
from this list.
Pages: Select one of your pages for menu item.
Posts: Select one of your posts for menu item.
Custom Links: Create a custom link for your menu item.
Categories: Select one of your categories for menu item.
Tags: Select one of your tags for your menu item.

For example we want to add a category to our menu. Click on
Categories on left side.
All of your categories are arranged in three different way: Most used ones, View All of them and also you can Search among them. After selecting a category click Add to Menu button. If you select more than one category, all selected categories will be added as new menu items.
