WordPress Menus – More Powerful Than You Might Think!
Creating WordPress menus or sub menus to external pages without utilizing WordPress pages or a plugin is not a secret but many people don’t realize that you can do this so I hope this demonstration will succeed in showing you how easy it is.
The Main Points
The great thing with WordPress menus is that they are flexible enough that you can have your cake and eat it!

- Go to Posts -> Categories from your WordPress dashboard.
- Create a category with a suitable name for your menu.
- Go to Appearance -> Menus
- Choose the menu category you created and add to menu

The finished result in the above example looks like this:
