Hi,
Just wondering if it’s possible to add multiple menus (like lunch, dinner, sunday) and then add subtitles for the items in each menu (like start, main, dinner).
Thanks

Thanks for writing.
The best solution for this would be creating three parent Food categories. That would be “Lunch″, “Dinner″ & “Sunday″. For each one of those you can create subcategories like start, main and dinner. Then you add the food items assigning them to the specific food category you wish.
Since “Lunch″, “Dinner″ & “Sunday″ are food categories you don’t need to create any pages for them, they’re created automatically by the theme.
If you visit your page http://yourwpsite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=menu-category&post_type=menu – you’ll see all the menu categories that you’d created. You’ll able to create more, edit or delete. When you hover any category you’ll see that there’s a link that says “View”. If you click that link, you’ll be sent to the Food menu category template.
Over the theme options, you can select to display your food menu category template with a grid or list style.
Then, when creating your WordPress navigation menu (check Appearance > Menus ), you can add any “Menu Category” (in your case: “Lunch″, “Dinner″ & “Sunday″).
Best,

Thanks

Thanks for the follow up. There’s no built-in solution in WordPress, but fortunately there are plugins to solve that.
Something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/ should do the trick.
Best,
Juan
