I am a total beginner on the platform wordpress ... bought a theme, installed it, everything right, the menus appeared. But I would like to include a submenu, the parent menus in a theme and create a page to add.
How do I do that?
I'm lost.
Ok, so on your dashboard you see the main menu down the left hand side. The editor for menus is under Appearance -> Menus.
In there you should be able to easily structure your menus and sub-menus with a simple drag and drop editor, as long as your theme supports editable menus and sub-menus.
As for creating pages, you do that by going to Pages -> Add New. Once you have created a page it should show up in the menu editor to be added.
Hope that helps.

I would like to be able to create a navigation menu in WordPress in which the top-level nav items are not pages, but rather menu headings, which expand the sub menu when clicked.
The default WP menu behavior is that all menu items are links to content (pages, posts, etc), and that sub-items are viewed upon hover.
I'm looking for a way to make it work more like the menu behavior built into Twitter Bootstrap (and for the same usability reason).
I'm looking for a solution that either already exists as a plugin, or which I can build into a plugin, so that anyone can create a new menu like this in the WordPress menu editor.
checkout this tutorial :
https://digwp.com/2011/11/html-formatting-custom-menus/
If you dont want any custom html structure than you can simply add the classed to menu and for top level menu create a custom link with # as href.
i am using word press. actually i want menu plugin for main menu menu in one row then the sub menus in another row. any one know which menu plugin is used for that scenario?
Menu:
I think that UberMenu is what you need. It is a user friendly customizable menu, but it is not free unfortunately.
[EDIT]
Or you can try WordPress jQuery Mega Menu Plugin, this one is free and great for a custom menu.
I have following navigation structure, which i want to implement in wordpress:
(Home / About / news / Contact) are in top navigation, whereas all sub links are in sidebar.
How can i create this type of navigation in wordpress. i.e. How can i display first level navigation in header and second level navigation in sidebar.
Follow these steps:
First create a main Navigation to your site without child pages and
add it to the theme.
Then create a new menu with child menus only and save it.
Now goto widgets section and from there drag Custom Menu from left
side and add to your sidebar.
Then select your child menu and click save.
Thats all. :)
Check this WordPress Codex section for creating menu tutorial
Cheers!!!
I found these plugins helpful:
Simple Section Navigation
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-section-navigation/
It allowed me to create the side nav based on the hierarchy of the pages and their children.
I wanted a bit more control though because I didn't want some of the parents to have their own page ... just a heading for their children. So instead, I'm using this plugin (for the Genesis Framework).
Genesis Simple Sidebars
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/
This allows me to create as many sidebars as I want and add custom menus to those. I'm new to this, so maybe I'm taking a long route, but so far it seems to be doing what I want it to.
I'm using the default Wordpress theme Twenty Eleven.
I was wondering if it's possible to add a menu in the sidebar, that leads to "hidden pages", pages that are not listed in the classic menu bar on top.
I want these menu voices to be on every page, in the default sidebar.
Any useful plugin that does this, or any other method? I wasn't lucky to find one until now.
Thank you!
create one custom menu for hidden pages
use this plugin Exclude pages from menu
and checked all hidden page, so, this will show only the pages which are checked..
this question belong on https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
There is a default widget -called custom menu- in which you can select a menu to display.
Do remember to make a sperate menu
I am new to wordpress. I want to know how can I customize a navigation menu in wordpress. I want to be able to change the look and contents of the navigation menu according to my need.I searched for plugins but none matches with the requirement. How should I proceed?
The menu is built up by the pages that you create. All the other stuff that you see are made up from widgets which you can drag and drop in the widgets menu.
So what are your plans exactly and what is the url so we can help a little bit better?
