Nossos usuários sempre nos perguntam se existe uma maneira de adicionar títulos ao menu do WordPress sem adicionar um link.
Ao longo dos anos, ajudamos milhares de usuários a começar a usar o WordPress. A configuração de um menu é uma das coisas mais importantes que você pode fazer ao iniciar um novo site.
No entanto, ao criar um menu suspenso, talvez você queira adicionar um título para os submenus sem vinculá-lo a uma página específica. Dessa forma, você manterá os visitantes na mesma página.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como adicionar títulos ao menu do WordPress sem criar um link para uma página.
Por que adicionar títulos de menu sem vincular a uma página?
O WordPress oferece várias opções para personalizar seu site, permitindo que você alcance seu público-alvo e ofereça uma experiência excepcional ao usuário.
Para proporcionar uma experiência de usuário tranquila, seu site WordPress deve ter um menu de navegação bem estruturado. Isso facilita para os usuários encontrarem o conteúdo e as diferentes páginas do seu site.
Quando você adiciona títulos de menu, o WordPress exige que cada menu tenha um link para uma página ou um link personalizado por padrão. No entanto, você pode querer mostrar um título de menu, mas não um link para uma página em determinadas situações.
Por exemplo, você pode ter um menu suspenso de categorias em que deseja que o texto do título seja “categorias” para o menu, mas não precisa adicionar um link. Quando os usuários clicarem em categorias, isso simplesmente abrirá um submenu no menu suspenso.
Dito isso, vamos ver como você pode adicionar um título ao menu do WordPress sem criar um link para uma página.
Como adicionar o título do menu do WordPress sem vincular a uma página
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é adicionar um novo item de menu ao seu menu. Você pode fazer isso acessando Appearance ” Menus no painel de administração do WordPress.
Observação: Se você não vir a opção Appearance ” Menus, então você está usando um tema de bloco e este tutorial não funcionará para o seu tema.
Em seguida, você deseja adicionar um link personalizado. Você pode ver as opções de “Links personalizados” na seção “Adicionar itens de menu”.
Se você não vir os Links personalizados, basta clicar no botão “Screen Options” (Opções de tela) no canto superior direito da tela. Em seguida, marque a caixa de “Links personalizados”.
Depois disso, você precisará inserir um rótulo ou título para o item de menu.
No campo URL, digite o símbolo da hashtag (#) e clique no botão “Add to Menu”.
Seu item de menu será adicionado ao menu do WordPress.
Em seguida, você precisará clicar na seta suspensa ao lado desse link personalizado para editar o item de menu. Remova o sinal de hashtag do campo URL e clique no botão “Save Menu” (Salvar menu).
Você pode adicionar submenus a esse item de menu e vinculá-los a qualquer página ou inserir um link personalizado, se desejar.
Se precisar de ajuda para adicionar o menu ao seu site, consulte nosso guia sobre como adicionar um menu de navegação no WordPress.
Agora, se você acessar seu blog do WordPress, verá um item de menu sem um link.

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
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
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
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
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
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
It worked. Thank you
Jeff Bocos
Thanks very much! Exactly what I needed – worked like a charm.

Edgar
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
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!

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
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
Thanks for this, it worked a treat!

Awesome!
Many thanks to you – it worked fine.

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