Adding Items to a Menu :-

You can add different link types into your menu, these are split between single window left of the menu you're currently editing.

5. Click the Save Menu button once you've added all the menu items you want.

Your custom menu has now been saved.

Creating Multi-level Menus

When planning the structure of your menu, it helps to think of each menu item as a heading in a formal report document. In a formal report, main section headings (Level 1 headings) are the nearest to the left of the page; sub-section headings (Level 2 headings) are indented slightly further to the right; any other subordinate headings (Level 3, 4, etc) within the same section are indented even further to the right.

By using simple drag and drop interface you can create multi-level menus, as WordPress menu editor allows this feature. You can Drag menu items up or down to change their order of appearance in the menu also can if you want to create sub-level within your menu drag menu items left or right.

To make one menu item a subordinate of another, you need to position the 'child' underneath its 'parent' and then drag it slightly to the right.

1. Position the mouse over the 'child' menu item.
2. Whilst holding the left mouse button, drag it to the right.
3. Release the mouse button.
4. Repeat these steps for each sub-menu item.
5. Click the Save Menu button in the Menu Editor to save your changes.

Add the below code into your function.php to register your menu

<?php
    /* Add Menu support and add positions */
    if (function_exists('add_theme_support'))
    {
        add_theme_support('menus');
    }

    add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

    function register_my_menus()
    {
        register_nav_menus(
        array(
            'primary'   => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'theme name' ),
            'secondary' => __( 'Secondary Navigation', 'theme name' )
        ) );
    }
?>

In case, you need to call different menu in different page then you can create different menu(primary, secondary, trinary, etc) just add the same code into your function.php file.

Call menu in header.php :-

<?php  wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) );  ?>

or,

<?php  wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) );  ?>
