You now have total control over the menu items that appear on your teamthing website’s pages.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add a new menu group.<\/h4>\n

Your teamthing.com website comes with sample menu groups that you can either edit, or, remove and use completely new ones.<\/p>\n

These menu groups can then be used in the menu locations that your theme supports e.g. some themes support both a top and footer menus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can add a new menu group as follows:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Click on\u00a0Menus<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Appearance<\/strong>\u00a0menu<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Enter\u00a0Menu Name<\/strong>\u00a0then click\u00a0Save Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. \u00a0This menu group can now be used for one or more of the menu locations in your theme. Select your new\u00a0Menu Name<\/strong>\u00a0from the drop-list in the\u00a0Theme Locations\u00a0<\/strong>section<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Add links to the menu using the Custom Links, Pages or Categories modules<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Re-order the menu items as you like, then press\u00a0Save Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Reorder<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Themes with multiple menu areas<\/h4>\n

Some themes come with multiple menu areas e.g. Top Menu, Main Menu, bottom menu etc.<\/p>\n

These menus can also be set from your Appearance>Menus screen.<\/p>\n

Again, just create your menu groups and then use the ‘Theme Locations’ drop downs to place these menu groups where you require them to appear on your website pages.<\/p>\n

Blank Menu Items<\/h4>\n

You may have noticed that it is possible to leave a ‘Theme Location’ drop down blank i.e. select no value.<\/p>\n

When you choose to do this, your teamthing.com site will display an automatic menu based on all the pages and\u00a0sub-pages\u00a0that you have created for your site.<\/p>\n

If you have organized you pages well, and used sub-pages where\u00a0appropriate, this type of ‘automatic’ menu can work well.<\/p>\n

However, I would advise using a defined ‘Menu Group’ for all your menus so that you have more control over the menu content.<\/p>\n
