I'm using WordPress Menus for my main navigation, at the moment it's displaying the navigation alphabetically. How can I get it to display my menus in the order I have them arranged in WordPress?
Thanks in advance!
Appearance > Menus
Select the menu you want to edit (this view is editing Main Nav)
Select that pages you want to include in your menu from PAGES on the left
Add To Menu
NOTE: You can also add post categories and nest pages within each other like shown in the image below. Make sure that your template is set up for menu nesting if you do this.
If you are talking about pages in your menu, go to the editing screen and look for Page Attributes (typically on the lower right). You will see PARENT, TEMPLATE and ORDER. In the order section, you can assign a number to the post, and they will appear in the order you define.
Hope this helps
In the menu page, you should just be able to drag the items into the order you want.

my problem is adding pages in wordpress navigation menus because there are many pages in my site and the pages meta box (in appearence -> menus) is not well indented. So, I can't find easily the right page in the list.
There is a way for reorder the page list hierarchically?
Thanks
Why not using the search? It's useful and easy!
first get your pages address in pages worpress bar
then go to appearence>menu and there you can add cusstom links to anything like your pages
I had the same issue until I used the Order field and Parent in Pages, you can sort and manage your pages in an order that will show in appearance -> Menus, you will see it as is in the following image.
Is it possible to add all categories/subcategories links automatically to WP menu from WooCommerce plugin?
I have many categories (20) and even more subcategories (100+) and I need them to be shown in the main menu at the top, in a hierarchical way.
I have tried from "Appearance->Menu" section to select all the categories at once in the menu, but they were all messed up, no hierarchy at all.
Is there a solution to avoid inserting all the categories/subcategories manually as menu items?
please check this plugin

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 only want to show the pages that do not have parents, and link the other pages from their parent pages.
I want to have a simple main menu: Home | Pages | About | Contact
About 8 pages are linked from the Pages page. At the moment, the menu has 12 items, which deforms the layout pretty badly.
I have tried making the pages private, unpublished, and other options, but that doesn't seem to be the way to do it. Is there a way I can just have only parent pages linked in the main menu?
You can edit the menu (under the appearance tab in the dashboard). (you may need to add a new menu and assign it to the main navigation menu. It sounds like you have the defaulted menu set-up.
Once you've added a menu and assigned it to the main navigation, you can uncheck "automatically add top-level elements" or its equivalent, and add/remove menu items. You can also change their hierarchy (independent of actual page hierarchy).
It's all so easy these days. Just Go to appearance>menus>click the little triangle next to the listed page name>click remove> don't forget to save ... all done!
Maybe you didn't set up a custom menu yet. Set up a custom menu first with the desired pages / links. If it doesn't show on your site, check custom memus are enabled in your theme.. this will help you setting up a custom menu: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-custom-navigation-menus-in-wordpress-3-0-themes/
I need to develop a kinda Sitemap on the bottom of my website, with all menu items and I was wondering if I can do it with Views.
I actually need to display each main menu item on a different column and add the submenu items to each column.
I realized anyway that Views has not access to Menu items, but only to nodes, or am I wrong ?
thanks
I don't believe you can do this with views. It sounds like you just need to have the top level menu "expanded" in menu configuration and style accordingly. For creating something trickier, that involves multiple levels, check out the menu block module (http://drupal.org/project/menu_block).
