Do you want to make a dropdown menu and add it to your WordPress website?<\/p>\n

A dropdown menu shows a list of links as you take your mouse over an item on the menu.<\/p>\n

We use a dropdown menu on WPBeginner, go ahead and take your mouse over the navigation menu on top.<\/p>\n

In this beginner\u2019s guide, we will show you how to easily create a dropdown menu in WordPress with step by step instructions.<\/p>\n

\"Creating<\/p>\n

Why Use Dropdown Menus in WordPress?<\/h4>\n

WordPress comes with a built-in menu management system that allows you to easily add navigation menus<\/a> to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n

Navigation menus are links to the main pages of your website that usually appear on the top as a horizontal row right next to the website\u2019s logo.<\/p>\n

\"Typical<\/p>\n

If you are starting a blog<\/a> or creating a website<\/a> with only a few pages, then you can add them in the single row.<\/p>\n

However, if you run an online store<\/a> or a large website, then you may want to add more links to the navigation menu.<\/p>\n

Dropdown menus help you solve the limited space issue by showing menu links only when users bring their mouse over to a parent item. They also allow you to organize the menu structure by topics or hierarchy.<\/p>\n

\"Dropdown<\/p>\n

Lastly, they look pretty nice too.<\/p>\n

That being said, now let\u2019s take a look at how you can easily create WordPress dropdown menus add them to your website.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Choosing a Theme with Dropdown Menu Support<\/h4>\n

WordPress comes with a built-in menu management system but displaying those menus is entirely dependent on your WordPress theme.<\/p>\n

Almost all WordPress themes support dropdown menus by default. However, some themes may not have proper menu support.<\/p>\n

You need to make sure that you are using a WordPress theme that supports dropdown menus.<\/p>\n

How do you know if the theme you are using supports the dropdown menu?<\/p>\n

You can simply visit the theme\u2019s website where you\u2019ll find a link to the theme\u2019s demo. From there you can see if the demo is showing a dropdown menu in the navigation menu.<\/p>\n

If it is not, then you\u2019ll need to find a WordPress theme that does.<\/p>\n
