If it doesn’t the way to go is by adding and placing the menu items in the WP menu panel in the dashboard, and then styling the menu with CSS. There’s a video tutorial on how to build a WP theme and the design has a third level menu.

Can you start by creating a Child Theme: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663029) * Btw, [@antonietta456](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonietta456/), the code from themes distributed on WordPress.org can be found here: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/), which is helpful because I hardly ever have to download a theme to support it 😉 * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663037) * Thanks for the response Andrew & antonietta 456 I’ve created the child theme. I will now follow the links suggested and read more on the issue. I’ll get back if I have any further questions. * Thanks again for the help! * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663038) * Hang on, I don’t think you need to follow that webdesign tutorial. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663039) * Can you create a folder inside your Child Theme and name it “template”? Then within that folder, can you create a file and name it “header.php”? * E.g. replicating this: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/zalive/1.2.9/template/header.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/zalive/1.2.9/template/header.php) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663040) * Then in your Child Theme “header.php” file (within the “template” folder) can you paste all of the code from this PasteBin page into it: [http://pastebin.com/ZP40U4Nu](http://pastebin.com/ZP40U4Nu)? * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663042) * I will do that now and get back to you. * Again thanks for the help! * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663045) * I did as you suggested just to be clear, i created everything using the cpanel. Should I switch my theme to the child theme in wp-admin while I’m working on this? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663049) * > Should I switch my theme to the child theme in wp-admin while I’m working on > this? * Sure, or wait until after you’ve done the steps * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663054) * Ok all the steps are completed and I’m working inside the child theme. My menu has changed some but I can fix that simply by adding the pages back to the correct location. Should I be able to see a third menu option yet? * I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to help? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663055) * In the dashboard if you go to [Appearance > Menus](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen) and then set up your menu there, you should be able to create your 3 levels of depth. Before, the theme was constraining the depth to “2”. * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663057) * Thank’s I’ll work on it and get back to you soon and update the thread. * Thread Starter [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * (@fish911) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663060) * I think I’m getting close? The menu changed and now it allows me to place a third page in the menu column under appearance, menu tab. It changed the color of the new menu but I fixed that with a little css. The only thing now is how to I get the third column to move to the left more? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/#post-4663062) * Sounds like you can tweak that with CSS too, e.g: * ``` .nav ul ul { ... } ``` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 32 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Third-level menu’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/zalive/1.3.4/screenshot.png) * zAlive * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zalive/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zalive/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zalive/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zalive/reviews/) * 32 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [fish911](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fish911/) * Last activity: [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/third-level-menu-2/page/3/#post-4663287) * Status: not resolved
