Title: Header pages Last modified: December 22, 2020 --- # Header pages * [bdchika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdchika/) * (@bdchika) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-pages/) * Hello, * Presently my categories show on my header. I am wanting to make these into a dropdown menu instead and have them fall under the heading ‘recipes’. I have been trying to see how I can make this change, in addition to create ‘about’ and ‘contact me’ headerings, which when clicked would take the person to the respective page on my site. Any help is greatly appreciated. My site is cookingwithchika. com * Thank you Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [bdchika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdchika/) * (@bdchika) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-pages/#post-13820770) * Hello I think I’ve figured out how to add the pages, however still working on the creating the recipe page and drop down list. For my pages, i created an ‘ about me’, how do I make it so that the side bar layout remains – so the layout on this page remains the same as what my landing homepage looks like? Also how do I get rid of the footer ‘about me’ and facebook icon on my ‘about me’ page? When I create the ‘recipe’ page, how do I make it default to the current ‘homepage’? * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-pages/#post-13823420) * Hi [@bdchika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdchika/), Change the Page template for the About me page to be the default [https://prnt.sc/w7z9y6](https://prnt.sc/w7z9y6) Then you will need to add your widgets in the page sidebar from Appearance->Widgets, remember you can use a plugin/module like Jetpack’s widget visibility [https://jetpack.me/support/widget-visibility/](https://jetpack.me/support/widget-visibility/)( or event without Jetpack [https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-visibility-without-jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-visibility-without-jetpack/)) to have different widgets in different pages You can create a dropdown menu from Appearance->Menus [https://www.cssigniter.com/the-complete-guide-to-wordpress-menus/](https://www.cssigniter.com/the-complete-guide-to-wordpress-menus/) * end enable recipes (post categories) as menu items from screen options (More info here [http://www.cssigniter.com/docs/article/screen-options/](http://www.cssigniter.com/docs/article/screen-options/)). * Let me know if you need additional help with this. - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/). * Thread Starter [bdchika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdchika/) * (@bdchika) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-pages/#post-13824547) * THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH Fotis!
