Custom Menu Feature Filter
Based on your feedback, you are loving the Custom Menu feature we launched two weeks ago. It’s natural to want that feature enabled for your favorite theme, too. We’re working on adding it to all WordPress.com themes.
In the meantime, you can find themes with Custom Menu support in Appearance→Themes by choosing Custom Menu from the Feature Filters menu.
Custom Menu filter enabled in Appearance→Themes.
We’ll also keep an updated list on the Custom Menu Support page.

This new menu functionality is great. I was able to remove two widgets — Pages and RSS Feed — from my sidebar when I moved up to the Greyzed theme with the embedded Custom Menu. Extremely handy, thank you!
June 9th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
I’m verry happy about this! 10x
June 9th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Thanks!! That is awesome! I was waiting for it!!
June 9th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Yes! This is the filter I like: Custom Menu. Love this function!
So, I am changing my theme to Enterprise in order to use it! Thank you.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I am unable to find any such layout for options with checkboxes on the theme Greyzed! Am I amiss here?
June 9th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
@vish3116 This isn’t related to a specific theme. You’ll find the filter options by going to Appearance→Themes, then at the far right near the search field, click on Feature Filters to reveal the menu.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
This will make things easier for sure. Thanks!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Thank you!!!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
It’s hard to find the right theme when there are so many options that I like – seems there is no one theme that has it all. I’d like a three column theme with the custom menu feature. Wish me luck. Thanks!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Thanks for the update!! it’s getting cooler and cooler, and I am hooked!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
Love it, saves time for searching a new theme.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Thanks for this helpful tip. Looking forward read more from the support page.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Thanks! This is really helpful.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
You guys are doing a great job. I always wanted to add Custom links to the menu title and this addition has enabled me to do it. Thanks heaps. God bless.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Ah… how much of a difference is there from just enabling it from the widget area? O.o
June 9th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Good news. I love custom menu feature.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
New things, ways to increase visitors, so much going on. Frankly, I feel as if I am sinking. Not understanding computer talk, mesmerised by high tech features, I feel I am left behind and powerless to even tread water!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Love it! Thanks!
June 9th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
My theme Bueno only supports one menu, I wish it supported more. I like the theme, but should I change it to another theme that support more than one menu? That’s not really my idea. What themes support more than one menu?
June 9th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Right now the only theme two have more than one menu is Enterprise. I’m sure that will change in the future as we launch more themes.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
GREAT! I was wondering the best way to find the themes that have the support for the new menu feature!
June 9th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
It seems that my lack of enthusiasm for custom menus puts me in a minority of one. I am struck by this commitment: “We’re working on adding it to all WordPress.com themes.” New WP.com features usually go into new themes, leaving the older ones behind. Making an exception for this feature makes a strong statement.
June 9th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Thanks for your thoughts, Andrew. To be clear, this isn’t an exception—in the past we’ve retrofitted older themes with new theme features (such as threaded comments) and we plan on continuing to improve older themes with features such as Custom Background and image/gallery improvements.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Very cool! Thanks.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
You rock! Thanks. This one is superb. Now, we can experiment and create a more personalized theme.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I still did not use the custom menu as of yet, but the more options the better, thanks!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Thank you! Great job!
It will be helpfull because i thought how can i easier find what i need!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
This is great! Now, I finally want to make my own custom menu.
Thanks so much!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I am so glad the custom menus feature made it to WP.com thank you guys for adding the filter in the theme section makes it so much easier now to find the right theme that is custom menu enabled…
June 9th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Thanks! You know, it’s awesome things like this that make me glad I joined WordPress.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Awesome! I still have to check this thing out…but it sounds really neat. I’m hoping to consolidate two or more of my widgets so I don’t have quite so much in my sidebar–and I don’t want anything in my footer!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Everybody loves custom features. Thanks WP team!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Yes, loving the new menu feature! Thanks again.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
This is certainly an improvement. Have to be careful that too many quirky things don’t creep in. The featured image option is really temperamental sometimes.
But, on balance there’s nothing coming close to WordPress. I like integrating it with SoundCloud – very very neat.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Anytime custom is mentioned – I’m all ears. Thank you for this addition to an already incredible list of options we have!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Love it! WordPress you are the motor in my blogging car.
June 9th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
This new menu feature has been a lifesaver in allowing me to construct my site to display our bible teachings in a list rather than as front page blog entries!
Thanks for a great service and for keeping it fresh and lively!
June 9th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Thank you, WP, for being so responsive to our requests!
June 9th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
Please add it to Blix soon! I’m really looking forward!
June 10th, 2010 at 2:06 am
I switched to Twenty Ten for the aside feature which is great, but I’d like to have more than one menu – I realise only Enterprise supports this feature at the moment . I’d also like Twenty Ten to support a narrower header image as an option.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:14 am
Oooh! Nice update!
June 10th, 2010 at 3:30 am
Thank you, It is helpful for filtering and searching themes.
June 10th, 2010 at 6:00 am
Nice and handy update! Thanks!
June 10th, 2010 at 6:20 am
Thanks. I missed clicking on Feature Filters. My bad.
June 10th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Really cool feature… Thanks!
June 10th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Absolutely fab, as usual!
June 10th, 2010 at 9:44 am
WP.com is getting crazier! -read: better and better! Checked the custom menu a week ago and this is IMO one of the best features that has been introduced. Now let’s get creative with ‘em!
June 10th, 2010 at 9:59 am
PS: how long would it take for all the old themes (e.g. Cutline…) to be updated with the menu feature – approximately?
June 10th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
We’d love to tell you an exact date, but we can only say “soon.”
June 10th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Thanks for letting us know.
June 10th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
I was feeling like a weirdo, being the only one who was not excited about this new feature. Then I figured it must have been because I didn’t get it and went to check the support page for it. And now… wow! That’s absolutely amazing! I knew I was lacking enthusiasm, since everything the WP team does is fantastic!
June 10th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Nice, thanks! Should be helpful.
June 10th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I love the menu feature. It’s amazing, and works well.
June 11th, 2010 at 4:10 am
It’s true. I like the custom menu feature. Thanks for keeping up with me.
June 11th, 2010 at 5:53 am
Please add it to Blix soon! I’m really looking forward
June 11th, 2010 at 6:52 am
Thank you for the new menu feature. I’m sure everybody loves this… Great job!
June 11th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Do you think you could update older themes (such as Motion) so that they can benefit from the new features that are coming out so fast? I don’t want to give up Motion but I don’t want to be left out when new features arrive.
June 14th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Yep! We don’t want you to be left out either. We’ll be going through the theme archives and carefully updating older themes with new features like Custom Menus.
June 11th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Great feedback. I’m a rookie-blogger but a menu is something my blog is lacking. Not sure if it will work on the Black Letterhead theme but we’re going to give it a shot.
June 12th, 2010 at 12:06 am
Recently used this feature to make my blog much easier to navigate. VERY nice feature. Didn’t really see the potential at first, but then caught on. Thanks for this.
June 12th, 2010 at 11:34 am
Thank you very much for the custom menu feature. It’s very helpful and makes it easier for me to free up my sidebar. Much appreciated!
June 12th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
I hope the team will finish the task of integrating custom menu for all themes… thanks for the info.
June 13th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
I have a suggestion: can you make it so all themes have a place where there is an icon that links to Twitter/Facebook/Flickr? I’m using Titan and it doesn’t have Facebook and I’d really like it if you could do that. Thanks!
June 15th, 2010 at 6:12 am
Good custom filter… I like it!
June 15th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I LOVE the custom menu theme. Thanks a lot for it!
June 15th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Customizing my menu was so great, love it.
June 16th, 2010 at 1:01 am
Nice…will check it out.
June 16th, 2010 at 4:29 am
Thanks, I just used it!
June 16th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I love the custom menu thing. It changed everything! Thank you!
June 17th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
You guys rock!
June 17th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
The custom menu feature was really helpful, especially how the Greyzed theme allows for dropdown menus. I just hope you could extend not just the custom menu but also this dropdown menu function for other themes as well. Really, it helps to make a blog look orderly. thanks!
June 20th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Looking forward to more themes including excerpts feature. Keep up the good work!
June 20th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Thanks for the new feature. I’m always cautious about trying new things, but after reading all these comments I’ll give it a try.
