How Do I Create a Custom Menu Link in WordPress?

Custom Menu Links in WordPress

Creating custom menu links in WordPress is relatively easy. You simply add a link to a custom menu item in your post or page content, and WordPress will automatically create a custom menu link for you.

You can also create custom menu links using the Custom Menu plugin, but this method is more involved and requires a bit more knowledge of WordPress custom menu creation. If you’re looking to create custom menu links without using a plugin, then this is the method for you.

To create a custom menu link in WordPress:

1. Add a link to a custom menu item in your post or page content.

For example, if you want to create a custom menu link for your blog’s “About” page, you would add a link to the “About” menu item in your post content.

2. WordPress will automatically create a custom menu link for you.

Simply hover your mouse over the link and you’ll see a “Custom Menu Link” option appear. Click this to add the link to your custom menu.

3. You can also create custom menu links using the Custom Menu plugin.

To do this, first install the Custom Menu plugin and then add a new menu item to your WordPress site. (To learn more about the Custom Menu plugin, read our full review.)

Once you’ve added the new menu item, you’ll need to add a link to it. To do this, click on the “Custom Menu Link” icon next to the menu item’s title.

This will open a dialog box where you can enter the link to the custom menu item. (Note: If you’re using the Custom Menu plugin, you’ll need to use the “Shortcode” form instead of the “Link” form.)

Click “OK” to save the link and return to your blog post or page. WordPress will automatically add the custom menu link to the appropriate spot.

Now you can access your custom menu link from any page or post on your WordPress site.

Conclusion

Creating custom menu links in WordPress is a quick and easy way to add custom menu items to your site. You can use the Custom Menu plugin or simply add a link to a custom menu item in your post or page content.

Either way, you’ll be able to access your custom menu link from any page or post on your WordPress site.
