At this point you can choose to have the menu automatically appear in the [header ](https://elementor.com/help/header-site-part/)and/or [footer](https://elementor.com/help/footer-site-part/). You can also set up the menu to automatically include newly created top-level pages in the menu. Top-level pages are the main page of a section and often have sub-pages under them.\
Once you create the menu, you’ll be able to add pages to it.&#x20;

**Step 4** - Select the Pages that you want to add by clicking the checkbox next to each Page's title.

**Step 5** - Click the **Add to Menu** button located at the bottom of this page to add your selection(s) to the menu that you created in the previous step.

After adding pages to your menu, they will appear in the **Menu structure** section.&#x20;

You can rearrange the order of the menu by dragging and dropping menu items. Click the arrow next to the menu item for additional options such as renaming it. After making changes, remember to click **Save Menu**.

Menu Home will be displayed.

#### Create submenus

**Step 1** - Select **Appearance>Menus** from the WordPress dashboard.

**Step 2** - Use the checkmarks to select the subpages, and click **Add to Menu**.

**Step 3** - Once these subpages become part of the menu, drag them under and slightly to the right of the top-level page.
