To create a custom navigation menu:
- Go to Appearance > Menu
- Click on "create a new menu" to create a new menu (eg. Main Menu).
- Add the menu items from the left panels
- To create dropdown menu: drag the menu item toward the right (the item(s) will be indented)
- When you are done adding the menu items, click "Save Menu"
- To assign menu locations:
- Scroll down to the bottom where it says "Theme locations" and tick the menu location checkbox
- Main Navigation = main menu in the header
