Remember: Not ALL WordPress themes support menus. Most do but some don’t. If yours doesn’t then you might like to consider changing or upgrading to a different theme!

I wish I had seen this a lot of time ago, building wordpress menus was something I never understood until I had to do it myself.
I still see many sites with the menus spread all over in several lines because people don’t understand how to create the actual drop down so kudos to you for creating this video man!
Thanks Rob! I learn something SO useful every time from these short videos which is so usefull. In about 5 years I never knew about this (Shame on me!!).
Thanks again.
I think I used Wordpress for about a year before I learnt how to do this – so don’t worry about that! There’s always something new to learn – one of the many great things about internet marketing
When you’re in Appearance > Menus click on Screen Options at the top right. Then check the box which says “Link Target” and click Save Menu. When you add a new custom you can then click the drop down menu against that link in the main area and select “Open link in a new window/tab”.
Thanks for your comment – good to hear you found this useful
Cheers, Rob.

Thanks Rob – I actually only found out about this option the other day, so I found your video useful – particularly the bit about custom links.
Great stuff, thanks, and great to see you here on the blog
Cheers – Rob.

Great little training vid Rob – I have tried to work this out for myself a few times recently and despite looking at the wordpress help page got a bit lost – but your vid has made it simples!
“Simples!” – that might be lost on people outside of UK but made me chuckle – thanks Pete!
Cheers, Rob.

Hey Rob
It’s been a while!
Very useful info as usual, you make it look so easy on the vid, amazing how a little effort explaining the actions step by step puts everything into context so most anyone can follow!
Keep up the good work mate.
Hi Rob
Thanks for the very helpful and clear demonstration in your video. Your “caring and sharing ” attitude is a credit to the new breed of Internet Marketers who put people first and profits second.
Thanks again

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I have been trying to figure out a drop down menu for my recipes since I started my website. You explained everything wonderfully and I am just thrilled that I finally know how to do this. Thank you so much!
I’ve been asked several times recently how to create custom menus in WordPress.

Thank you Jerry, I will try to as always

Hi Rob
Thanks for the clear instructions. That home page was always a tricky one for me, but now I know how.
It would be great if you could also explain how to get a menu item to open in a new browser window, as opposed to replacing the currently viewed page.
Hi George,
When you’re in Appearance > Menus click on Screen Options at the top right. Then check the box which says “Link Target” and click Save Menu. When you add a new custom you can then click the drop down menu against that link in the main area and select “Open link in a new window/tab”.
