Creating Menus & Using Gutenberg
Guiding Visitors Through Your Site
Menus and the Gutenberg editor work together to give visitors a clear path through your content and a well-structured page layout.
Creating Navigation Menus
- Go to Appearance > Menus, create a new menu, and add Pages, Posts, or custom links to it.
- Drag and drop items to set their order, and indent items to create dropdown sub-menus.
- Assign the menu to a theme location, such as the primary header menu or footer menu.
Using Gutenberg for Layout
Gutenberg's block editor lets you combine blocks like Columns, Groups, and Cover images to build flexible layouts without code.
Reusable blocks let you save a design once and insert it across multiple posts or pages.
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Menus | Defines site navigation structure |
| Columns block | Creates multi-column layouts |
| Group block | Bundles blocks with shared styling |
| Reusable blocks | Saves layouts for repeated use |
With menus and layout sorted, it's time to make sure your content actually gets found — starting with the right SEO plugin.
