Letar du efter ett sätt att lägga till rubriker i WordPress-menyn utan att lägga till en link?
Som standard kräver WordPress-menyn att varje menu item är länkat till en page eller en customize-länk. När du skapar en dropdown-meny kanske du dock vill add to en titel för undermenyer utan att länka den till en specifik page.
I den här artikeln visar vi hur du addar titlar till menyn i WordPress utan att länka till en page.
Varför lägga till rubriker i menyn utan att länka till en page?
WordPress erbjuder flera alternativ för att customize din website så att du kan nå din målgrupp och erbjuda en exceptionell användarupplevelse.
För att ge användarna en smidig upplevelse måste din website i WordPress ha en välstrukturerad navigation menu. Det gör det enkelt för användarna att hitta content och olika pages på din site.
När du addar rubriker till menyer kräver WordPress som standard att varje meny har en länk till en page eller en customize-länk. Du kanske dock vill visa en menytitel eller ej länka till en page i vissa situationer.
Du kan till exempel ha en dropdown för kategorier där du vill att rubriken ska vara ”categories” för menyn men inte behöver add to en länk. När användare klickar på kategorier kommer det helt enkelt att öppna en undermeny i dropdown.
Med detta sagt, låt oss titta på hur du kan add to en rubrik till WordPress-menyn utan att länka till en page.
Lägga till rubrik i WordPress-menyn utan att länka till en page
Det första du behöver göra är att lägga till ett nytt menu item i din menu. Du kan göra det genom att gå till Appearance ” Menus från din WordPress adminpanel.
Därefter vill du lägga till en customize link. Du kan se alternativen för ”Custom Links” i section ”Add menu items”.
Om du inte ser Customize Links, klicka bara på knappen ”Screen Options” högst upp till höger på skärmen. Därefter kontrollerar du boxen för ”Custom Links”.
Efter det måste du enter en etikett eller rubrik för ditt menu-item.
I fältet URL går du vidare och enter hashtag (#) symbolen och klickar på knappen ”Add to Menu”.
Ditt menu item läggs nu till i WordPress-menyn.
Därefter måste du klicka på dropdown-pilen bredvid den här customize-länken för att editera menu-item. Gå vidare och ta bort hashtag-tecknet från URL-fältet och klicka på knappen ”Save Menu”.
You can add sub menus to this menu item and link them to any page or enter a custom link if you want.
Om du nu går till din WordPress blogg, så kommer du att se ett menu-item utan en link.

I have a question regarding SEO. What you describe in the article, I did on my blog (some time ago). I put an item in the menu that was supposed to be a header, and below it were links to pages. However, when measuring the website on PageSpeed Insights, I noticed that Google criticized these kinds of links (I don’t want to say penalized, because it pointed it out as an error). The measurement showed that I have links that lead nowhere and this is supposedly bad. Is this really the correct technique to use?
WPBeginner Support
These are an option, if you would prefer you could create a page linking to your different categories if you are concerned about the link that is not going to a page.

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?

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.
