Categories and Nav sub-menus

    Hello all.

I am having a great deal of trouble with 2024 WP with regards to navigation menus and categories. I was able to do this in the past but I can’t with the new block editor system. This is probably due more to my lack of understanding about the nuts and bolts of WP than the new system.

I am trying to achieve a nav bar that looks like this (items below top line are sub and subsub categories of ‘Posts’ that I would like to appear as a drop down menu):

Home?Posts?Etc Etc

Explore Posts by Country Explore Posts by Category

Egypt Outdoors

Turkey Food

etc etc

To create the ‘Posts’ link in the navigation menu I went to settings/reading/you home page display/posts page/posts. What I am unable to do is proceed beyond this point, and work out how to create the ‘Explore Posts by Country’ and Explore Posts by Category’ submenus. I have created them as categories, but they are ‘just names’ at this point. I don’t know how to link them to the navigation menu. I have created all the subsub categories (names of countries, names of categories) underneath the Parent Categories ‘Explore…Country’ and ‘Explore…Category’ and assigned my posts to them.

If anyone could please help I would be very grateful.

Thanks in anticipation, Jim

    Hi @jimjim1 – I must admit I’m still a little unclear on how you’d like the menu set up. Are you just meaning you’d like each of the ‘explore posts by country’ etc menu items to link to the relevant category index page?

    If so – I’d recommend starting to type the name of the category when you insert a new menu item – and it will show up as an option to include.

    Once you have the menu item inserted – you can edit it and change the label if you’d like.
