4. Pages and Menus

These steps are based on using the CASE Faculty Theme. Users of other Themes may wish to view the guides under MyWeb Documentation or the general CASE WordPress user guide.

From your Dashboard, go to Pages. Here you can add, view and delete pages on your website.

Start by trashing the default Sample Page that came with your website. Keep the title-less homepage.

To add a new page: Choose “Add New.” Give the page a title. You can starting adding content on the new page right away (see 5. Text, Links, Images and More) or click “Publish” and continue to add the page to your website’s menu.

Managing Your Menu

To reorganize the main menu: From your Dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus. Here you can:

  • Add and remove existing pages from the menu
  • Click and drag pages to reorder them in the menu, including as subpages that will appear in dropdowns under the “top-level” pages
  • Give a page a shorter name in the menu if its full name is too long
  • Disable the “Auto add pages” button to stop new pages from appearing in the menu automatically.
In this example, the website’s main menu will have two top-level items: “About” and “Research.” Under “Research,” a dropdown menu will show the item “Faculty Website,” which links to the page with the full name “Project A: Building a Faculty Website.”

You can also manage a Social Menu (social media links) from this page.
