Custom Menus WordPress 3 – Menu Parents

Posted in WordPress Menus at 9:54 am

There’s a great way to make place holder menu parents but it’s not exactly intuitively obvious. Place holders are good when you want to combine several items in a group on the menu but there’s nothimg really  worth clicking on for the entire category.

Using the custom links option, enter http://# (courtesy of Anna-Maria at http://greatdanemaniac.com) and the label for your parent menu item.

Drag your new item to it’s appropriate place in the menu structure and select the custom drop down to open the options window on the right of the menu box for your new label.

Blank the URL box.

Save Menu Item & then Save Menu.

You get a lovely list item that doesn’t do anything. (Sometimes sitting there & looking pretty is all it takes.)
