There are four default menu locations built into the Cambrian WordPress theme. These are the three menus at the top of each page, as well as the footer menu.

Once you have completed filling out all of the custom menu locations that you want to add, press the Update button to save these new menu locations.

Once the new menu locations have been saved, content editors can create new menus through WordPress’ menus page (Appearance › Menus), and add them to the custom locations.
