Got it 👍 You already have WordPress installed locally, now let’s build your homepage with menus and submenus step by step.

---

🛠️ Step 1: Create the Pages

1. Log in to your WordPress admin:

   http://localhost/site1/wp-admin
   

   (replace site1 with your folder name).

2. Go to Pages → Add New.

3. Create these pages one by one:

   • Home

   • Login

   • About Us

   • Projects (this will be the parent menu item)

   • Attendance (submenu under Projects)

   • Equivalence (submenu under Projects)

   • Project Monitor (submenu under Projects)

   • Contact Us

👉 Just publish them with some placeholder content for now.

🛠️ Step 2: Set Home Page

1. Go to Settings → Reading.

2. Under Your homepage displays, choose:

   • ✅ "A static page"

   • Select Home as Homepage.

---

🛠️ Step 3: Create the Menu

1. Go to Appearance → Menus.

2. Click Create a new menu, name it (e.g., Main Menu).

3. Add all the pages you created (Home, Login, About Us, Projects, Attendance, Equivalence, Project Monitor, Contact Us).

4. Drag them into order:

   • Home

   • Login

   • About Us

   • Projects

     • Attendance

     • Equivalence

     • Project Monitor

   • Contact Us

5. Save Menu.

---

🛠️ Step 4: Assign the Menu to Your Site

1. Still in Menus, check Primary Menu (or "Main Menu" depending on your theme).

2. Save.

---

🛠️ Step 5: Add Menu to Homepage

Most themes automatically show the primary menu in the header.

• If not, go to Appearance → Customize → Menus → Menu Locations → assign your new menu as Primary.

---

🛠️ Step 6: Customize Home Page Content

1. Go to Pages → Home → Edit.

2. Use the Block Editor (Gutenberg) or Customizer to add a welcome message, images, or a hero section.
   (Later you can install page builders like Elementor if you want advanced layouts).

---

✅ Now when you open your site (e.g., http://site1.local), you’ll see:

• A Home Page with a navigation menu at the top.

• Menu items: Home, Login, About Us, Projects (with dropdown: Attendance, Equivalence, Project Monitor), Contact Us.

👉 Do you want me to also show you how to make the Login page functional (so users can log in from there instead of /wp-admin)?
