How to add a dropdown menu in WordPress
WordPress has a built-in menu management system that makes it easy to add menus to your site. However, as you add more and more pages, posts, and other content, it may not be possible to include every item on the standard menu bar.
In these cases, you can provide easy access to all sections of the site without cluttering the menu bar by replacing the standard horizontal menu bar with a drop-down menu.
In this quick tutorial, I’ll share two easy ways to convert any standard WordPress menu into a drop-down menu.

- Select the menu you want to convert into a drop-down

For example, in the following snapshot, the Settings section is the parent section, and Password Reset and Logout are the children.
