Main Menu items link to tags

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello on my blog site, I have a question about menu items for my blog site. I designed where there is a main menu header, with individual blog posts under it.

    https://billboardchartrewind.wordpress.com/

    When you click on one of the header items there (90’s Edition, R&B/Hip hop edition), it goes to another page where it says Tags. I do not want to the Main menu to link to anything. I only want everything under it to point to the blog posts in that category. How do I fix this so that the main menu items don’t link to anything.

    Thank you

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello

    Please go to Appearance > Menus and locate the 90’s Edition menu item and in the URL field add # https://snipboard.io/9WFTtv.jpg instead of the whole URL and retest.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Hi there,

    The reply above misses a couple of steps, so let me just fill in the blanks :)

    For the 90's Edition menu item you currently have a Tag added to the menu. You’ll need to edit the menu and remove that item completely.

    Then replace it with a Custom Link item, give it the label you want, and add a # symbol in the URL field.

    For all your other top-level items it looks like you’re already using the Custom Link item, but make sure you check each of those and also add # to the URL field. This isn’t strictly necessary, but it will make the menu items on the site behave consistently.

    Yes, I went through that and it seems to be working. Thanks for your help. 👍

    Oh one more thing, can you only add published blog posts? I’m guessing that you can’t add anything that is in Draft?

  • Hi there,

    Correct, both draft and private pages and posts will not appear in the menu.
