Use this interactive demo to learn how to create a dropdown menu in your WordPress navigation.

Quick summary

Adding a page to a dropdown menu in WordPress requires using the Site Editor to access the Navigation block and add a submenu. This step-by-step process lets you organize your site's navigation with nested pages without writing any code.


Steps

  1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance.
  2. Select Editor to open the Site Editor.
  3. Open the List View at the top-left corner of your screen.
  4. Select the Navigation block in the List View panel.
  5. Click the settings icon located in the right sidebar.
  6. Hover over a menu item and click the three dots that appear beside it.
  7. Click the Add submenu link to create a dropdown.
  8. Select the first page you'd like to appear in the drop-down menu.
  9. Click Save to save your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a dropdown menu in WordPress helps site owners organize their navigation by grouping related pages under a single parent menu item, improving both usability and site structure. WordPress's built-in Site Editor and Navigation block make it possible to create nested submenus without plugins or custom code. A well-structured dropdown navigation reduces bounce rates, helps visitors find content faster, and signals clear site hierarchy to search engines. This feature is essential for any WordPress site with more than a handful of pages.
