I nostri utenti ci chiedono spesso se esiste un modo per aggiungere titoli al menu di WordPress senza aggiungere un link.
Nel corso degli anni, abbiamo aiutato migliaia di utenti a iniziare a lavorare con WordPress. L’impostazione di un menu è una delle cose più importanti da fare quando si avvia un nuovo sito web.
Tuttavia, quando si crea un menu a discesa, è possibile aggiungere un titolo per i sottomenu senza collegarlo a una pagina specifica. In questo modo, i visitatori rimarranno sulla stessa pagina.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere titoli al menu di WordPress senza collegare una pagina.
Perché aggiungere titoli di menu senza collegare una pagina?
WordPress offre molteplici opzioni per personalizzare il vostro sito web, consentendovi di raggiungere il vostro pubblico di riferimento e di offrire un’esperienza utente eccezionale.
Per offrire un’esperienza utente fluida, il vostro sito web WordPress deve avere un menu di navigazione ben strutturato. In questo modo gli utenti possono trovare facilmente i contenuti e le diverse pagine del sito.
Quando si aggiungono i titoli dei menu, WordPress richiede che ogni menu abbia un collegamento a una pagina o un link personalizzato per default. Tuttavia, in alcune situazioni si può desiderare di mostrare un titolo di menu ma non di collegare una pagina.
Ad esempio, si può avere un menu a discesa per le categorie, dove si desidera che il testo del titolo sia “categorie” per il menu, ma non è necessario aggiungere un collega. Quando gli utenti fanno clic sulle categorie, si aprirà semplicemente un sottomenu nel menu a discesa.
Detto questo, vediamo come aggiungere un titolo al menu di WordPress senza collegarsi a una pagina.
Aggiungere il titolo del menu di WordPress senza collegarsi a una pagina
La prima cosa da fare è aggiungere una nuova voce di menu al vostro menu. Potete farlo andando su Aspetto ” Menu dal pannello di amministrazione di WordPress.
Nota: se non viene visualizzata l’opzione Aspetto ” Menu, si sta utilizzando un tema a blocchi e questa esercitazione non funziona per il tema in questione.
Successivamente, si vuole aggiungere un collega personalizzato. Le opzioni “Collegamenti personalizzati” si trovano nella sezione “Aggiungi voci di menu”.
Se non si vedono i Collegamenti personalizzati, fare clic sul pulsante “Opzioni schermo” nell’angolo in alto a destra dello schermo. Selezionare quindi la casella “Collegamenti personalizzati”.
Successivamente, è necessario inserire un’etichetta o un titolo per la voce di menu.
Nel campo URL inserire il simbolo hashtag (#) e fare clic sul pulsante “Aggiungi al menu”.
La voce di menu sarà ora aggiunta al menu di WordPress.
Successivamente, si dovrà fare clic sulla freccia a discesa accanto a questo collegamento personalizzato per modificare la voce di menu. Rimuovere il segno dell’hashtag dal campo URL e fare clic sul pulsante ‘Salva menu’.
A questa voce di menu è possibile aggiungere dei sottomenu e collegarli a qualsiasi pagina o inserire un link personalizzato, se lo si desidera.
Se avete bisogno di aiuto per aggiungere il menu al vostro sito, consultate la nostra guida su come aggiungere un menu di navigazione in WordPress.
Ora, se andate sul vostro blog WordPress, vedrete una voce di menu senza un collega.

Just what I needed.
I was scratching my head wondering how I would be able to do this.
Then I came across this article, thank you very much.
Jon
This worked great, thanks!

One small thing missing in this article.
How to get rid of the hand (cursor: pointer), or is it only me, who have this problem ?
Scot
I’ve used this type of custom link in the top level of my primary menu, and it works great on the desktop. But on mobile devices, when I tap the custom link, it doesn’t open the sub menus below it, so none of those pages are available. Is there a way to fix that?
adnan
this was helpful thanks
Hamba Allah
thank you soo much :*
Luis Casanova
Thank you!

I added a title to my web site menu as you suggested using the # method but needed to remove it. I did so on Dashboard but it still shows on my site main menu and when opened it says “blank page” and that it is unsecure. How do it remove it.
WPBeginner Support
If you are using a caching plugin then please delete cached files. Also visit Menus screen to make sure that you have deleted the menu item. Don’t forget to click on the save menu item after removing or adding an item to the menu. Hope this helps.

I have an existing menu that I need to remove page links from. How do I do that? I have 3 titles in the header that link to its own page. I do not want it to link to any page.
Danielle
OMG this was a life saver and I’d wish I found this about 6 mos ago….I’ve been trying to figure this out for the longest time. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Brendan Dunne
I used this method to solve my problem and it works great thanks.
However, the created menu header is not a page so when I go to map the sub pages, how do I structure them?
Marek
Hello,
I created a custom menu item in which I want to function as a label only, so I deleted the URL from that item, but it still shows a different color on mouse-over as if it was a link. How do I disable that hover effect from that item?
You can see it here: and the item is the ‘Written About Braunstein’s:’ in the menu below the logo.
Thanks
Susan Taunton
This is in response to Marek’s August 9th question about how to remove the hover effect from a non-linked menu title:
Marek,
You can use the browser development tool to identify that title’s menu-item-number and then use css to define the link, visited, hover, focus, active colors to all be the same and so remove the hover effect.
Example:
#menu-item-2036 a,
#menu-item-2036 a:link,
#menu-item-2036 a:visited,
#menu-item-2036 a:hover,
#menu-item-2036 a:focus,
#menu-item-2036 a:active {
color:#C1A45B;
}

I didn’t understand this … are there any more images that maybe show the finished product?
Norbert
Thanks, it is brilliant and works!!!!
WILLIAM
Thank you, it works like a charm.
Rui
Using Appearance>Menus,create a Custom Links item with the URL as
javascript: void(0);
This is the a great way of solving that problem
Peter
This has bugged my for a while but never did anything about it. Googled and bingo, sorted. So simple thank you.
Annelisse Miller
Worked Perfect! So easy to follow! Thank you!
teri matelson
can you make a custom link, added to the primary navigation, open in a new window?
Matthias
Thanks – really helpful!
Rajit
Hi, How do I modify the styling of custom links? I want to separate two sets of menu items with separate non-clickable headings.
Thanks
Graham
Cheers for that. We were really stuck. Knew it could be done, but didn’t know how…until now. Yer a star
Rosie
Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed to do and it has worked a treat.

Sanjay Nair
So simple! Just what I needed. Thank you.
Hayley
Thank you! Exactly what I needed!
Carol M. Smith
Thanks … but I do not want the words “Menu Item” to be in the menu … Can I change the name “Menu Items” ?
Leanne
exactly what I needed to know! thank you!!
Bob Varaleau
I was using categories to do this but this is much better. There is one problem that you might be able to help me with.
If a viewer was to click on the custom link the custom menu link will remain high lighted until you click on a sub item or some where else on the page. It is a minor thing but if it could be rectified it would make this fix for the menu even better. Is it possible to make this custom link menu button non-clickable using CSS??
Menno van der Krift
Cheers! Works like a charm.
Mike
Oddly this doesn’t work on the iPad. Before the submenu can appear, it asks if you want to save the image? Works perfectly well when the drop down button has a normal page link, i.e, the menu item is drawn from ‘Pages’.
George
This is great – it works. However, the title of my drop-down menu has changed colour – from white to blue. Can anyone explain how I can correct this in wordpress?
jhodgski
Thanks for this, but wouldn’t it result in invalid HTML as I see you end up with an anchor/link element which has no href attribute. It would also be semantically incorrect to use and anchor/link element if the item isn’t actually a link. Is there a better way?
viktoriana
This didn’t work in my case :/ Have “converted” a menu which was a ul list of links into a registered wp_nav_menu and now the categories which where listed as wp_list_categories do NOT appear under the custom link as they used to. Somehow wp_list_categories has to be added still into the wp_nav_menu , and it’s not at all that simple as this post suggests. :/
viktoriana
except this is not working followed exactly what you’ve written, added two categories us subpages, but submenu is not showing.
there must be some wp_list_categories thingy messing up my wp_nav_menu …
bb
I love wpbeginner! Thanks for this tweak, cheers
Rob Lowndes
Just what I am looking for. But when I place some pages as sub items under the new blank menu item it looks great until I save the menu and then those pages autmatically revert to the main menu! In other words WP 3.7.1 is not allowing me to save any sub menus to the new item. Can someone help me?
Wayne Gerald
I did this on my extensive training website. However, I ran out of custom links, meaning I reached WordPress’s custom link limit. Going past this limit, the navigation menu no longer saves. So how do bypass this custom link limit? Is there a plugin? If so, I can’t find it.
Any help would be much, much appreciated.
Joe Dean
You’ve probably solved this by now but, for anyone else reading this:

Thanx dude it’s helpful for me
Muhlis
this is what i looking for to edit category dropdown menu in my website resellerhunter.com, thanks for helping.
grrprep
I want to do something reverse. I want to add pages but not let them appear in menus. I have around 20 pages and do not want 20 sub links in my menu. help is appreciated.
CHRIS
Go to the menus and uncheck the “Automatically add new top-level pages” Now if you want any page to appear at menu you will have to add by yourself.
Janet
Thank you! I’ve always wondered how to do this.:)
Jake Tyler
That’s some nice tut, really, thanks so much.
Chris
Is there any way when we left the mouse on that menu item who hasent got any link, not to change the mouse cursor? Practicaly the browser not to understand as a link?
Thanks.
Mike Ott
You could just target the element in CSS with:
cursor:crosshair;
Buck
Nice tut, i never know this is possible.
Beth Pittman
Thank you for this post! Is it just me but does anyone else have trouble getting the drop down arrows on the menu screen to open up? When I click on the arrow, it simply moves the menu item down on the menu. I have to repeatedly do this until, finally, it will open. Any tips?
Lorne
How would accomplish (change) the same thing on a web site WP v3 with already existing Menus?
Thanks
SmittenbyBritain
Thanks for the tip. I was trying to figure out how to do that. I just linked things back to home if I didn’t have a url. This works great!
bob
what if you have already established a large menu bar? can you go back and change the first menu bar title to not connect to a page?
Editorial Staff
Yes, you can always adjust the menus. This technique is particularly helpful if you want to add dropdown items in your long menu bar.
