Edublogs themes support custom menus which means you can customize your navigation menu.
This allows you to easily:
- Re-arrange, add, and remove items from the menu bar at the top of your blog
- Change the order of pages
- Create nested pages
- Display posts on multiple pages by linking to category pages
- Add custom links to your navigation menu
- Create a custom menu for your sidebar
Custom menus allow you to fully control the links that appear in your navigation menu- you can even add links to website and pages not on your blog!

Below’s an example of a custom menu with nested pages and custom links:


Here’s how:
1. Go to Appearance > Menus in your blog’s dashboard
2. Give your menu a name – ‘Main Menu’ will work great!
3. Click on the blue ‘Create Menu‘ button

4. A Theme Location box will appear in the top left. Choose your newly created menu from the drop-down box and click on ‘Save’
5. Select the page, categories, or custom links you want to add to your menu.
- Do this by dragging the link you want to make over to the main box on the right or click on Select All and Add to Menu.
6. Arrange the menu items as you want them to appear by drag and dropping.
- In the example below, ‘Contact’ will show in a drop-down nested page under ‘About’.
7. Click ‘Save‘ when done.

8. Visit your blog and see your new menu!
Custom Menu Widgets
You can also create as many menus as you want and add them to your blog as a widget in a sidebar.
