Here is a step-by-step guide on how to add WordPress menus in sidebars and footers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-create-a-custom-menu\">Step 1: Create a custom menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can add a menu to the sidebar or footer, you need to know how to create a menu in WordPress. To create a custom menu in WordPress, go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to&nbsp;<strong>Appearance<\/strong>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<strong>Menus<\/strong>. Click the \u2018Create a new menu\u2019 link, give your menu a name and click the&nbsp;<strong>Create Menu<\/strong>&nbsp;button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-add-items-to-the-menu\">Step 2: Add items to the menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your custom menu has been created, you can add all the menu items to it. On the left side of the Menus page, you will see a list of items you can add, such as pages, posts, custom links and categories. Select the items you want to add to your menu and click the&nbsp;<strong>Add to Menu<\/strong>&nbsp;button. You can then drag and drop the items to rearrange their order as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-save-the-menu\">Step 3: Save the menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After adding and arranging the items in your custom menu, click the&nbsp;<strong>Save Menu<\/strong>&nbsp;button to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-add-the-menu-to-the-sidebar-or-footer\">Step 4: Add the menu to the sidebar or footer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have created a custom menu, you can add it to your website\u2019s sidebar or footer. To do this, go to&nbsp;<strong>Appearance<\/strong>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<strong>Widgets&nbsp;<\/strong>in your WordPress dashboard. Look for the Navigation Menu widget in the list of available widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-add-the-navigation-menu-widget-to-your-desired-area\">Step 5: Add the Navigation Menu widget to your desired area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drag and drop the Navigation Menu widget into the sidebar or footer widget area where you want the menu to appear. Once the widget is in place, you can give it a title (optional) and select the custom menu you created earlier from the drop-down list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-save-the-widget-settings\">Step 6: Save the widget settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the&nbsp;<strong>Save<\/strong>&nbsp;button to save your widget settings and your custom menu will now appear in the chosen sidebar or footer area on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding WordPress menus in sidebars and footers extends your site\u2019s navigational reach, making it easier for visitors to explore key areas beyond the main menu. Now, let\u2019s see how Bluehost can further enrich your WordPress navigation and make the setup process even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different ways to display your WordPress menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most WordPress themes define specific areas for navigation, known as theme locations, such as the primary header, footer, or social links bar. You can easily assign your custom menus to these spots by navigating to <strong>Appearance &gt; Menus<\/strong> and selecting the appropriate checkboxes under &#8220;Menu Settings.&#8221; For areas outside these standard locations, such as sidebars or widget-ready footers, you can use the Navigation Menu widget found in <strong>Appearance &gt; Widgets<\/strong>. This is perfect for displaying specific content like category lists in your sidebar or legal policies in the footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For greater flexibility, modern block themes allow you to use the Navigation block to place menus anywhere in your layout, breaking free from pre-defined slots. While advanced users might utilize shortcodes for unique custom displays, the standard tools are usually sufficient for beginners. Regardless of where you place your menus, it is crucial to test them on mobile devices to ensure they remain user-friendly.
