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!
Jun 9th at 4:47 pm
I’m verry happy about this! 10x
Jun 9th at 4:49 pm
Thanks!! That is awesome! I was waiting for it!!
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th at 5:03 pm
I am unable to find any such layout for options with checkboxes on the theme Greyzed! Am I amiss here?
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th at 5:06 pm
This will make things easier for sure. Thanks!
Jun 9th at 5:09 pm
Thank you!!!
Jun 9th 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!
Jun 9th at 5:13 pm
Thanks for the update!! it’s getting cooler and cooler, and I am hooked!
Jun 9th at 5:17 pm
Love it, saves time for searching a new theme.
Jun 9th at 5:18 pm
Thanks for this helpful tip. Looking forward read more from the support page.
Jun 9th at 5:19 pm
Thanks! This is really helpful.
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th at 5:34 pm
Ah… how much of a difference is there from just enabling it from the widget area? O.o
Jun 9th at 5:36 pm
Good news. I love custom menu feature.
Jun 9th 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!
Jun 9th at 5:53 pm
Love it! Thanks!
Jun 9th 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?
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th at 6:04 pm
GREAT! I was wondering the best way to find the themes that have the support for the new menu feature!
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th at 6:15 pm
Very cool! Thanks.
Jun 9th at 6:53 pm
You rock! Thanks. This one is superb. Now, we can experiment and create a more personalized theme.
Jun 9th at 6:54 pm
I still did not use the custom menu as of yet, but the more options the better, thanks!
Jun 9th at 7:08 pm
Thank you! Great job!
It will be helpfull because i thought how can i easier find what i need!
Jun 9th at 7:45 pm
This is great! Now, I finally want to make my own custom menu.
Thanks so much!
Jun 9th 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…
Jun 9th at 8:01 pm
Thanks! You know, it’s awesome things like this that make me glad I joined WordPress.
Jun 9th 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!
Jun 9th at 8:11 pm
Everybody loves custom features. Thanks WP team!
Jun 9th at 8:20 pm
Yes, loving the new menu feature! Thanks again.
Jun 9th 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.
Jun 9th 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!
Jun 9th at 8:52 pm
Love it! WordPress you are the motor in my blogging car.
Jun 9th 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!
Jun 9th at 9:47 pm
Thank you, WP, for being so responsive to our requests!
Jun 9th at 11:30 pm
Please add it to Blix soon! I’m really looking forward!
Jun 10th 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.
Jun 10th at 2:14 am
Oooh! Nice update!
Jun 10th at 3:30 am
Thank you, It is helpful for filtering and searching themes.
Jun 10th at 6:00 am
Nice and handy update! Thanks!
Jun 10th at 6:20 am
Thanks. I missed clicking on Feature Filters. My bad.
Jun 10th at 6:44 am
Really cool feature… Thanks!
Jun 10th at 9:01 am
Absolutely fab, as usual!
Jun 10th 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!
Jun 10th 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?
Jun 10th at 2:26 pm
We’d love to tell you an exact date, but we can only say “soon.”
Jun 10th at 11:45 am
Thanks for letting us know.
Jun 10th 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!
Jun 10th at 1:36 pm
Nice, thanks! Should be helpful.
Jun 10th at 2:45 pm
I love the menu feature. It’s amazing, and works well.
Jun 11th at 4:10 am
It’s true. I like the custom menu feature. Thanks for keeping up with me.
Jun 11th at 5:53 am
Please add it to Blix soon! I’m really looking forward
Jun 11th at 6:52 am
Thank you for the new menu feature. I’m sure everybody loves this… Great job!
Jun 11th 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.
Jun 14th 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.
Jun 11th 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.
Jun 12th 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.
Jun 12th 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!
Jun 12th at 1:33 pm
I hope the team will finish the task of integrating custom menu for all themes… thanks for the info.
Jun 13th 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!
Jun 15th at 6:12 am
Good custom filter… I like it!
Jun 15th at 2:48 pm
I LOVE the custom menu theme. Thanks a lot for it!
Jun 15th at 4:28 pm
Customizing my menu was so great, love it.
Jun 16th at 1:01 am
Nice…will check it out.
Jun 16th at 4:29 am
Thanks, I just used it!
Jun 16th at 8:01 pm
I love the custom menu thing. It changed everything! Thank you!
Jun 17th at 1:49 pm
You guys rock!
Jun 17th 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!
Jun 20th at 11:29 am
Looking forward to more themes including excerpts feature. Keep up the good work!
Jun 20th 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.
