    Hi, New to WordPress.

    Installed ok and loaded a new theme.

    Now want to add some things tabs or something at the top for different pages.

    If you have a look at my website https://www.darrylhowse.com you will see at the top a HOME tab.

    I would like to know how to add more of those and seperate pages for those such as an ABOUT page, CONTACT etc

    Oh yeah , please let me know the correct terminology too ??

    Awesome and have a great day to you all.

    Darryl

  • This will probably be found in your “Header.php”

    Find where the “Home” link is, duplicate it directly under the “Home” link and then change “Home” to “About” or whatever you want. You’ll then need to add the link to the page that you want to link to.
