In addition to pages you have already published, you can add several different types of menu items to your custom menu:

• Custom Link – a custom URL linking to another site.
• Pages – a link to another page on your site.
• Posts – a blog post on your site.
• Testimonials – a link to testimonials.
• Projects – a link to a page of your portfolio projects.
• Categories – a feed of blog posts from a given category.
• Tags – a feed of blog posts from a given tag.
• Project Types – a link to a specific portfolio project type.
• Project Tags – a link to a specific portfolio project tag.

To add one of these menu items:

1. Click the + Add Items button.
2. Choose a menu item type from the list. For example: Pages.
3. Select one of the options displayed for that type. For example, click + Home to add a link to your home page to the menu.
4. Add more items to your Custom Menu by clicking the plus next to each item.
5. Click Save Changes to save your changes.

If you wish to add a brand new page or post to your menu, you can add its title in the field for Add New Page or Add New Post. A blank page/post will be added to your site and automatically added to your menu.

You can then add content to the page or post through your Site Pages/Posts
