リンクを追加せずにWordPressのメニューにタイトルを追加する方法をお探しですか?
初期設定では、WordPressのメニューは各メニュー項目をページまたはカスタムリンクにリンクする必要があります。しかし、ドロップダウンメニューを作成する際、特定のページにリンクせずにサブメニューのタイトルを追加したい場合があります。
この投稿では、ページにリンクせずにWordPressのメニューにタイトルを追加する方法を紹介します。
なぜページへのリンクなしにメニュータイトルをつけるのか?
WordPressは、ターゲットユーザーにリーチし、卓越したユーザーエクスペリエンスを提供できるよう、サイトをカスタマイズするための複数のオプションを提供しています。
スムーズなユーザーエクスペリエンスを提供するために、WordPressサイトには構造化されたナビゲーションメニューが必要です。これにより、ユーザーはサイト内のコンテンツやさまざまなページを簡単に見つけることができます。
メニュータイトルを追加する際、WordPressは初期設定で各メニューにページへのリンクまたはカスタマイザーリンクを必須としています。しかし、状況によってはメニュータイトルは表示させるが、ページへのリンクは表示させたくない場合があります。
例えば、カテゴリドロップダウンがあり、メニューのタイトルテキストを’categories’にしたいが、リンクを追加する必要はない。ユーザーがカテゴリーをクリックすると、ドロップダウンメニューのサブメニューが開きます。
とはいえ、ページへのリンクを貼らずにWordPressのメニューにタイトルを追加する方法を見てみましょう。
ページへのリンクを使わずにWordPressメニューのタイトルを追加する
まず最初に行う必要があるのは、メニューに新しいメニュー項目を追加することです。WordPressの管理画面から外観 ” メニューを開いてください。
次に、カスタムリンクを追加します。メニュー項目の追加」に「カスタムリンク」のオプションがあります。
カスタムリンクが表示されていない場合は、画面右上の「画面オプション」ボタンをクリックします。次に、「カスタムリンク」にチェックを入れます。
その後、メニュー項目のラベルまたはタイトルを入力する必要があります。
URLフィールドにハッシュタグ(#)記号を入力し、「メニューに追加」ボタンをクリックする。
メニュー項目がWordPressメニューに追加されます。
次に、このカスタムリンクの隣にあるドロップダウン矢印をクリックして、メニュー項目を編集する必要があります。URLフィールドからハッシュタグを削除し、「メニューを保存」ボタンをクリックします。
このメニュー項目にサブメニューを追加し、好きなページにリンクさせたり、カスタマイザーリンクを入力することができます。
WordPressブログにアクセスすると、リンクのないメニュー項目が表示される。

Beware, this technique creates some strange effects with some themes. The menu dropdown shows on my laptop, when I roll over with the mouse, but it does not work on any touch screen – tablet or phone.

Thanks for sharing this in case someone runs into this issue as well.

WordPress must have changed since this advice was posted – there is no “menus” under appearance on the dash board. I’m using WordPress 2023 Theme shbennettbookdesign.com
I want to have a menu item that doesn’t link but has two child pages that do.
WPBeginner Support says
Your theme likely uses the Full Site editor in which case you would want to take a look at our article below:

This help was fantastic! I’ve always been frustrated by wanting drop-down sub pages but this meant a main page which was of no use – now our menu has a title which leads to the sub pages. Thanks!

Hey, this helped me get my parent page setup. But now I can’t create a child page for it without publishing the new page first. The parent page isn’t showing up in the “page attributes” menu in the page editor.
Is there any way to do this without publishing the page before it’s on the parent page? Thanks in advance.
WPBeginner Support says
You would need to publish the parent page for it to be an option but, as long as you have a menu set then the page will not be added to the menu and the only way users would know about the page would be if they had the direct URL for your published page.

This works great when, on my site, I go to the menu item right from the website. (that is, clicking on my Custom Link menu item does not go to a page) However, when I type in the URL it DOES go to that specific page which is not desirable. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
If you want a URL not to direct to a specific page then you would want to create a redirect following our guide below:

This was really helpful! However, I am testing my site from a mobile device, and when I tap the menu item with the sub-menu, it doesn’t open the sub-menu options as it does on a PC/desktop, so none of those pages are accessible. Is there a way to fix this or any other recommendations?
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to check with your specific theme’s support as it sounds like there may be a styling issue with how mobile menus are designed.

Hi
what is best practice when I use this technique on a menu-items, when having breadcrumbs on my site?
WPBeginner Support says
That would heavily depend on your setup for your menu items.

Hi,
Thank you for your post. I understand now that I don’t need to write a post for every category on my site, just for the menu.
Now, I have another problem with one published page on my site. The page shows on the navigation menu and I can see it when I surf to my website. However, I cannot find it when I try to link to it. It is not showing on the drop-down when I click the link button and it is not showing when I search it on the navigation-menu-edit page.
At the beginning, I wasn’t paying attention to this problem and added the link to this page manually, however, I found out that Google Search Console says that there are no links to this page, and I know there are tons of links to it (more than one year old).
My site has more than 1300 pages and I don’t have any similar problem with any other page.
Can you figure out what the problem is and how to solve this issue?
I thought I can delete this page and rewrite it, but I am using SiteOrigin PageBuilder and some of links are to the page number and not to the URL.
Thanks
Peter says
It worked. Thank you

Thanks very much! Exactly what I needed – worked like a charm.

Edgar says
Unfortunately this does not work for me. I get a hyperlink with ‘#’. Leaving the field empty also Any idea what could be the problem?
Jeff Bocos says
Hey Edgar – try doing it from Appearance->Customize (via WP Dashboard).
When the Customize page opens, select Menus from the left side panel.
Select the Menu you want to edit, scroll to the bottom of the Menu values, next to the underscored ‘Reorder’ option, click the + Add Items icon.
A new menu will appear, click on the Custom Links tab at the top. Try again from here.
In the URL box, replace ‘http://’ with ‘#’
In the Link Text box, type your desired value.
Hope you get this to work.
Cheers,
Jeff

Thank you so much! I was starting to tear my hair out. One of the challenges is knowing how to describe the thing you’re having a problem with, and I’m so glad I found your step by step guide.
Worked a treat!
Susie says
For some reason, it won’t “add to menu”. I get an endless spinning timer that never resolves. Any clues as to why it won’t add to menu after I create the custom link and push the add button?
Thank you!
David Phillips says
Thanks much for the fix to create menu headings. Now, how can I create links in pages TO the menu heading? For example, I create a POSTS heading with the latest few POST pages under it. Elsewhere in the site I want to refer people NOT to a specific POST but to the list of POSTS, that is, the menu heading.
Maybe there is a sidebar fix to embed the POSTS list on ONE page.
Now suppose I have non-post pages, such as CLASSES. I want to link to the CLASSES heading, not a specific CLASS. I don’t want to have to maintain an empty menu placeholder page just to show the individual links.
Thoughts?
Joe says
Thanks for this, it worked a treat!

Awesome!
Many thanks to you – it worked fine.

Collin Blatt says
I’ve done as you’ve suggested, but the menu item redirects to an undefine page when clicked.
