Flexible WordPress Custom Menus

menu graphic illustration The WordPress Road Test site experiments in exploring the features of WordPress as a blogging platform and a cms content management system. WordPress 3.x allows having a website that looks like a static site without looking bloggy.

Less than obvious web design techniques are enhancements in the new 3.x version like flexible WordPress custom menus. If your theme was designed to support advanced features of the core WordPress design, you may be able to use drag and drop to layout or rearrange menus including the main navigation.

Look in admin under appearance for menus and then follow the instructions for assigning a custom menu setup. This allows you to control links to main site pages including the text displayed, title attributes, and the order of display.

Compare the drag and drop feature to static sites. Rather than requiring a knowledge of html code, you may drag menu items to rearrange the order of appearance. This is especially important for WordPress sites used as a cms because it allows you to easily add pages and reorder the appearance by inserting the new link anywhere in the sequence.

The new custom menu order displays instantly on your WordPress website. Again, view help files or email us if any questions on using this advanced feature.
