Menu Builder

Access: Admin panel → Edit Menu (index.php?action=menu_builder).

How it works

The menu builder outputs a JSON structure that themes read to render navigation. Drag items to reorder; nest items to create sub-menus.

Menu data format

[
  { "label": "Home",    "url": "/",        "children": [] },
  { "label": "Blog",    "url": "/blog",    "children": [] },
  { "label": "About",   "url": "/about",   "children": [] },
  {
    "label": "Work",
    "url": "#",
    "children": [
      { "label": "Projects", "url": "/projects", "children": [] }
    ]
  }
]

Reading the menu in a theme

$menu = get_menu();
foreach ($menu as $item) {
    echo '<a href="#">' . esc($item['label']) . '</a>';
}

For hierarchical rendering with dropdowns, use render_menu() or renderHierarchicalMenu().
