This is not about MAKING custom menus in WordPress.
I’m just showing you how to “activate or deactivate” the three main menu types in StudioPress themes.
Most StudioPress themes use a widgetized home page. This means that the standard WordPress blog page is missing and you have to make your own blog listing page.
First make a new web PAGE called blog.
Then go to: Dashboard > Settings > Reading >
Choose: A static page (select below)
Your homepage displays…
Homepage: My Home Page (or whatever you called your homepage)
Posts page: Blog
Don’t forget to add a link to your new blog page from your menu.

StudioPress themes will be changing dramatically from June 8th 2021. Please read this updated information about StudioPress themes.
