Default Add external links in Wordpress navigation - "Dear Christina" Blog
Dear Christina,

Is there a way to connect a Wordpress blog to a Wordpress website? I’d like to create a blog tab on the website which when clicked on will open up a WP blog which has a separate domain.

Thank you.

Dear Janine,

There are actually two ways to add external links to your Wordpress sites navigation.

The easy way is to install the plugin PageLinksTo. I have not personally used this plugin but I have seen good reviews on it.

Please use with caution and backup everything first.


My preferred way is manually. It involves jumping into the code of your theme but it’s painless, I promise.

First you’ll need to go into Appearance->Editor and then click on header.php (this is the usual place for the code but you may have a separate file named nav.php, in that case you’ll be opening it instead)

You are looking for something like this: <?php wp_list_pages( ); ?> ...Click here to read the rest of this post at the "Dear Christina" Blog.
