# Using a menu as a submenu

 * On my site, I have a two level menu structure. On some pages, I would like to
   include a widget with a menu of all the other pages in that top level menu item.
   I know I can create a master two level menu and then a second menu with just 
   the sub-items and do it that way, but I would rather just create the sub menu
   once, and have the master main menu link use that as the sub menu.
 * There seems to be a plugin called Navception that used to do this, but it hasn’t
   been updated in a long time and the reviews say it doesn’t work anymore.
 * Any thoughts? Is there a current plugin that will do this? I think this would
   make a great feature enhancement to the base WordPress software.
 * Thanks

 * Please identify exactly which theme you are using and then post in that theme’s
   dedicated forum via its page in the [Theme Repository](https://wordpress.org/themes/).

 * I am using the Travilify theme, but I don’t see how this is theme related.
 * In constructing a menu, one can add pages, posts, links and categories as menu
   items. I am asking for the ability to add another menu as a menu item. This is
   generic functionality, not specific to a theme, isn’t it?

 * If know you said you’d rather create one menu, but what I found requires you 
   to create two, sorry if that is a dealbreaker. Check out this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-specific-menu-items/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-specific-menu-items/)
 * Only downside I see is that the plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time, but
   if you have some time to test it, I recommend checking it out.
