Adding Navigation Menu in WordPress Posts/Pages

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Menu Shortcode plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

• Before you can use the plugin, first you will need to create the navigation menu that you want to display. Go to Appearance » Menus to create it. See our beginner’s guide on how to add navigation menu in WordPress for detailed instructions.

Once your menu is ready, you can add it to your posts using shortcode.

Simply edit a post or page where you want to display the menu and add shortcode like this:

[listmenu menu="My menu"]

Replace My menu with the name of navigation menu you want to add.

By default, your menu will be displayed as a plain list. If you want to change the appearance of your menu, then see our guide on how to style navigation menus in WordPress.

You can add your custom CSS for menus in your child theme‘s stylesheet or by using Simple Custom CSS plugin.

However, if you are not familiar with CSS, then you can try CSS Hero. It is a powerful plugin that allows you to style anything on your WordPress site using a simple user interface and without writing any code.
